FIU Law Review

For example, a $1,000 income increase can result in $5,000 of increased family obligations. A $10,000 increase can produce $50,000 of obligations. Or a $10,000 decrease can result in $50,000 of reduced obligations.

Reforming The Tax Treatment Of Divorce: Splitting The Benefits Of A Split, C. Garrison Lepow

Seattle University Law Review

The purpose of this Article is to consider the tax consequences of divorce, particularly those problems relating to property settlements. The tax consequences of alimony and child support are also considered.
