How the Tax Code Can Benefit Divorcing Couples

Surprising as it may seem, there are advantages within the tax code for to divorcing couples. With the help of a knowledgeable Financial Specialist as part of the collaborative divorce process, couples may be able to reap some financial benefits in certain situations.

For example, couples with ERISA-qualified retirement funds can withdraw funds – without penalty – to pay down debt, make a down payment on a second residence, or take other steps to improve cash flow. In addition, couples can maximize their tax filing status in future to make certain they are getting the full benefit of Head of Household status, credits, childcare credits, and other benefits.

This is called “tax effecting income” and it is designed to help couples transition with greater net income into two homes.
