Tax Issues Leading to Divorce

If you are divorcing your spouse because of tax debts you are being held responsible for that were accumulated by your spouse without your knowledge, we can help. This is surprisingly common, often arising when spouses co-own a business and one spouse stops paying taxes in an attempt to keep the business above water. The innocent spouse defense or other techniques may allow you to overcome tax debt that you should not be held responsible for.

If your spouse is divorcing you because of financial arguments related to tax debt that you will retain after your marriage has ended, we can work with you to review options available to help you deal with your tax debt.

Tax Issues Stemming From Divorce

Divorce, particularly the property division aspect of it, has tax consequences. These consequences are particularly burdensome when a husband and wife co-own a business and that business and its assets need to be sold as part of the property settlement. We are able to work with you to plan for and minimize tax consequences as part of a divorce asset protection strategy.
