Are court awarded attorney fees payable to one party in a divorce settlement considered alimony for tax purposes?
Are court awarded attorney fees imposed as a sanction on someone for contempt of court considered alimony for tax purposes?
If the judgement is silent on the issue, can one presume that court ordered attorney fees payable to one party in a divorce settlement be considered alimony for tax purposes?
Need professional answers before April 15, 2006.
Thank you.
