Many times there are issues as to the amount and who pay what taxes. Attorneys are not tax specialists and you should always get the advice of an expert accountant or tax attorney.
You are not obligated to file a joint tax return. However, the filing of one may be a good tax saving for both parties and a good bargaining tool.
This means that before you sign anything that may have a tax impact on your financial status get professional advice.
Some of the tax issues will be:
- Filing separate or joint tax returns
- Who obtains the tax deduction for child custody
- Income from the sale of assets and long term capital gains
- Family allowance vs. child support
- Deduction for attorney fees and cost related thereto
