How Will The New Law Affect Me?

The 2019 tax overhaul that came into effect under President Trump means that alimony payments are no longer tax deductible. Previously, the spouse receiving financial support could claim their alimony payments as a tax deduction, keeping significantly more money in their pocket. If you expect to receive alimony, we can fight to make sure that you receive the amount you need that is also affordable, tax-wise.
