Many people wonder if these expenses can be tax deductible. The short answer is no, legal fees for a divorce are not tax deductible.<\/p>\n<p>Legal fees for a divorce are considered personal expenses by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and therefore cannot be deducted on your tax return. This rule applies even if the legal fees are necessary to determine alimony, child support, or property division. However, there may be some exceptions to this general rule. For example, if a portion of the legal fees is attributed to tax advice related to the divorce settlement, that portion may be deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to certain limitations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_I_deduct_legal_fees_for_a_divorce_if_I_itemize_deductions_on_my_tax_return\"><\/span>1.
