Divorce is a major life changing event that can have long term financial and tax implications. You agree that the best thing is to end your marriage and move on. You’re reasonable and can sit at a table together and discuss the situation. You want to avoid a costly court battle. Perhaps you really don’t even need a mediator. However, despite the fact that you are amicable, you have been married a long time and just don’t know where to start. You and your partner need financial guidance during your divorce in order to separate the finances fairly. You might have investments, retirement accounts, pensions, businesses, expenses, rental properties, etc. How in the world do you structure a property settlement that is fair and won’t get you into tax trouble? It’s possible that some creativity could save both of you taxes so you both get to keep more of your own money.
