A portion of my ex-wife's legal fees were identified as support; they meet the criteria of support in the other 4 criteria, but do not contain suspension of payments upon death.
This support payment was a one-time payment of $4000, but because I was unemployed, I was permitted to pay it over a period of time with no increase in amount or interest. The IRS auditor is saying that eveni f it was paid all immediately and at once; it still could not be considered support because there is no death clause.
Both parties considered it support, the court called it support, and the lawyer accepted the payment as support.
Is this a valid interpretation? Is there a precedence which states otherwise?
Never, Never be a "Pro Se" even if you go broke with attorney fees!!!!!!
