Deductions: Back Child Support & Adoption Fees 2 part question. My ex is giving up all his rights to our daughter and my husband will be adopting her, as such I am having to write off over $13k in back child support that was owed to me. Can I take a tax deduction for the $13,000+ I am having to write off? Also, can we do a tax deduction for the expenses we will incur ($2,000 attorney fees) for my husband to adopt my daughter?
Thanks |
