Description

Divorces always have tax consequences, both during the divorce itself and afterward. The key is to know what they are and to manage them properly, which can be difficult when the parties are on an emotional rollercoaster.

By arming themselves with an understanding of key divorce-related tax issues, divorce attorneys can provide invaluable guidance to clients during one of the most difficult periods of their lives.

Tax-related issues can arise in connection with alimony, property division, the allocation of exemptions for dependents, the deductibility of attorney's fees, innocent spouse issues, and many other matters. Some mistakes are more easily dealt with and less costly than others.

Listen as our expert panel guides attorneys through issues that must be addressed in every case, whether simple or complex, and provides strategies for successfully navigating the tax issues in divorce and property division.
