Every divorce involves some legal issues surrounding finances and taxes. A divorce settlement will involve determining how property is divided, if and how alimony will be paid, who has custody of any children and how your future finances and taxes will be handled.

By having an experienced Pennsylvania divorce lawyer on your side you can protect yourself and your finances from a potential lifetime of problems.

If you are concerned about how finances and property are handled after a divorce you should know that Pennsylvania is a state with equitable distribution laws. Equitable distribution means that following a divorce all property, finances, and other holdings (such as stocks, bonds, and savings) are divided according to what is deemed to be “fair” by the family court. Because of the arbitrary nature of some of the cases we have seen it is highly suggested that you have a divorce lawyer who can handle at least this phase of the divorce proceedings.

When figuring out which property or finances goes to which spouse a judge takes into consideration several factors. A judge must consider the length of the marriage, the employment or role that each spouse played in the marriage, the age and health of both spouses, agreements regarding the finances that were made before the divorce, income or earnings potential of each spouse, contributions to the household including non-monetary ones like childcare and many others. Once a Pennsylvania family court judge has considered all of the evidence he or she makes a decision of where the finances will go.

Tax consequences occur after any divorce. The tax laws that surround divorce in Pennsylvania are especially complex. These laws provide different tax brackets, tax shelters, tax requirements and even tax write-offs based on the particular circumstances of the divorce. If you receive certain financial amounts from a divorce settlement you may have to pay taxes on them. By contacting our office for a free consultation you can defend yourself against paying unnecessary expenses and recover the amounts that are legally yours.
