Common Tax Issues Involved in Divorce
Don’t Overlook the Tax Issues Created By Your Divorce
Tax consequences follow many of the decisions made during a divorce, settlement agreement, or marital dispute resolution – often for many years to come. Whether you are involved in a divorce, separate maintenance agreement or annulment, it is important to consider taxes and the implications they may carry. Having knowledge of the tax issues created by your divorce is essential. This is why you should have an experienced divorce lawyer by your side.
Although your marriage may be coming to an end, the old saying about death and taxes still rings true. While the institution of marriage has often drawn comparisons to an economic partnership between two people, the truth is that both spouses need to be aware of their responsibilities for any and all tax liabilities incurred. Overlooking the tax consequences stemming from your divorce would be a mistake, which is why we encourage you to speak with the team at Lois M. Brenner, Esq. today.
Some of the most commonly overlooked tax implications include:
- Tax implications of spousal support
- Tax implications of child support
- Tax exemption for dependent children
- Deductibility of mortgage interest
- Tax implications of pensions and 401(K) plans

Lois was an absolute pleasure to work with. She worked on a prenuptial agreement for me. Our very first conversation put me at ease. She was interested in my upcoming marriage and wedding. She assured me the prenuptial agreement could be drafted quickly. She made intelligent recommendations to address some of my complex financial decisions. She also made sound suggestions to protect my multi-million dollar portfolio. Our wedding is coming up and will be a lot smaller than we originally thought due to COVID-19, but Lois Brenner got our prenuptial agreement done in time, and made it a lot more pleasurable experience than I thought it would be. I would recommend Lois to anyone seeking a truly skilled attorney to draft their prenuptial agreement.- Glen Mearns

I am a highly successful money manager and before meeting Lois Brenner, hiring a divorce attorney was a disaster. Two previous divorce attorneys really wasted my funds, and had no savvy when it came to asset and property distribution. Lois Brenner finally fixed the mess I was in. She and her team of financial experts, including attorney Matthew Ehrlich were able to prepare an asset and property distribution that was realistic, keeping in mind tax ramifications, and important distributions and allocations. They negotiated a thorough and financially sound divorce settlement. If you have a lot of assets, just any divorce attorney won’t do. You really need someone with a lot of knowledge. Lois Brenner and Matthew Ehrlich were really impressive. Thanks!!- Michael C.

I utilized Lois's services for divorce. She was most helpful in all aspects. First, she explored reconciliation, which was the right thing to do. Absence of that, her suggestion of what to negotiate for, how to do it without unnecessary anger & hostility to the ex & how to expedite the process was invaluable. Timewise she was excellent & sympathetic to what I was going through. She was always available & her fees were very reasonable. I would strongly recommend her as a divorce /representative attorney.
