The Federal Income Tax Effects Of The Missouri Version Of The Uniform Divorce Act, Alan Gunn
The Federal Income Tax Effects Of The Missouri Version Of The Uniform Divorce Act, Alan Gunn
Journal Articles
The marital property provisions of the new Missouri divorce law render the tax treatment of property transfers and alimony payments unclear. As to property transfers, the problem is that the new law appears to give the wife an interest in property that previously would have been regarded as belonging to the husband. Since this is so, it is possible to argue that a “transfer” of appreciated property to the wife is part of a “division” of property between “co-owners,” and therefore not taxable.

A new trial as of right was immediately granted the plaintiff under the statute directing the trial court to grant a new trial without cause, upon the filing of the application and bond by the aggrieved party.
