Michigan Divorce Law...

Michigan Law - May the Court Consider Tax Issues.

The court may consider tax issues both in setting alimony and in dividing the property.

The tax issues that arise most frequently are:

• Tax that would be paid if securities or mutual funds were sold.
• Tax that would be paid if the family home were sold.
• The deductibility of alimony to the payer and inclusion in income of the recipient.
• The non-deductibility of child support and non-inclusion in income of the recipient.
• The income tax exemption for a child, which sometimes may be given to either parent.
