Taxes Are Very Important
Although transfers between spouses under the judgment of divorce are not
subject to tax, achieving fair outcome requires consideration of taxes that each
party will ultimately pay in terms of the assets he or she receives. Due to this, it
is important to apply discounts to certain pre-tax assets in recognition that a
spouse that receives pre-tax property does not receive the same value as the
one who receives the same dollar balance in the post-tax assets.
