Under Trump tax plan divorces could get nastier

Under Trump's tax plan, divorcees in lower income brackets can exclude alimony payments from their taxable income but alimony payers no longer get a tax break, giving them less incentive to be generous to their former spouses.

Why it matters: In a recent survey, 64% of lawyers from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers said that they expect divorces to become even more hostile because of the changes to the tax code.
