Do Not Get Ahead of Yourself..
In these times or any time….child support, divorce…all ties into your taxes….so before you go filing and claiming the children on, make sure who is going to be getting that in the divorce. This always seems to become a war in most divorce cases, and in a lot of cases, a divorce mediator will be called in to help with this area of the divorce. I have talked about divorce mediation several times, it can really help with many divorce issues.
This blog is important to people right now that are just stepping into their divorce and filing taxes also, what needs to be done here is a discussion between divorce lawyers if there have not been a filing of taxes and everything taken care of before the divorce. Both can not claim the kids, will either be parents splitting the years, adjustments in child support because one parent gets to claim every year. So make sure the adjustments are already made for this in your divorce before you go filing. This can be a huge mistake.
After the divorce everything changes when it comes to tax time, so even with work, make sure you are now having the right amount drawn out or putting the right amount back. Huge reminder for everyone when it comes to divorce and taxes.
