Divorce does not automatically mean trauma for children. While it can be a difficult time for both parents and children, parents in California can also help children build resilience during divorce and find happiness.
Alimony, child support and the TCJA
Couples in California who are considering getting a divorce may need to consider how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will impact their lives after their divorce if their divorce agreement is signed after 2018. There are number of provisions in the legislation that include changes to deductions, exemptions, federal tax rates and the Alternate Minimum Tax limit. However, there is also language in the TCJA that divorcing couples should be particularly aware of, specifically those dealing with alimony and child support.
