Tax Implications of Your Divorce Settlement
Los Angeles, California, Divorce and Marital Property Division Lawyer
Litigating and/or settling divorce cases often involves complex tax issues that inexperienced family law attorneys overlook. If your divorce case includes litigating property issues, business ownership and the award of spousal support, the decisions you make regarding your settlement will have state and federal tax ramifications you must consider.

Tax issues in divorce will have a major impact on a wide range of factors in high asset divorce and cases involving non-marital relationships:
- Spousal support
- Marital property characterization and division
- Post-nuptial agreements
- Cohabitation agreements, palimony
- Breach of fiduciary duty
- Child support
Many tax issues in divorce are the result of property valuation and the value of the house. We work with professionals to help us prepare the financial data in a way that makes sense. You can't make an informed decision about your settlement unless you have the information you need.
