Hi there,
I was saddened last week by the death of ElizabethTaylor. For my generation she was an iconic figure. I can remember thinking, often, why she felt the need to marry so many men. Serial monogamy aside it had to be hideously expensive. Living in sin would have been easier, much easier!

Hi there,
April 15th is just around the corner and the IRS and the DOR are on my mind. A very clever tax lawyer colleague of mine, Jennifer Green, has written a good analysis of the tax issues which apply to divorcing couples.
Enjoy!

DIVORCE AND TAXES
Although you had hoped that your marriage would last an eternity, you find yourself in the midst of a divorce. With all the emotions that you are experiencing, you may not be paying too much attention to the tax ramifications that result from a divorce. In addition to you, your spouse and your children, there is another interested party in your divorce, namely, the IRS. To avoid unexpected tax consequences on April 15, you should consider careful tax planning as part of your divorce. A few items of interest are described below:
Hi there,
I started this post before I went on vacation last week, fully intending to complete it. The weather in Florida was lovely, sooo...
Military parenting is difficult in the best of times. The military are subject to constant moves, and most military folk find themselves at one time or another being deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan. This presents huge challenges in an intact family and can be even worse in a divorce scenario. Imagine being a mother, having physical custody, getting orders to deploy to Afghanistan and knowing that when you return (if you return) you may not have custody of your children anymore, as your ex has used your deployment to keep the kids. Horrific! Yet it happens on a regular basis.
Consequently, I was very pleased to read this article in the fabulous Ohio Family Law Blog.
I hope this passes in the current congress and I will try to follow up and keep you informed,

Hi there,
My family used to accuse me of missing birthdays and anniversaries, too true I fear, but I miss my own as well. I just realized that February was the second anniversary of this blog! In honor of that I am posting a couple of really crazy items sent to me by Scott, one of my partners in crime.
I am actually doing this post on my iPad, thanks to the technical skills of Anna, my other cohort, as always guys, thanks, I couldn't do it without you!
The first is a cautionary tale indeed! (spolier alert: this is icky!!) I had to check the science out and apparently it is doable, who knew?
The second one is legal in nature, but not really connected to divorce, but I couldn't resist a tale of a pimp named Jomo Zambia.
Best,
Nancy
