Question: When I get divorced I will have to give my wife some large chunks of money ..? She will get half of my retirement,savings and house equity and I understand this..My question is whether any of this could be a tax write off for me

Answer: Most states have a 50/50 law so she will get half of everything. Some states still allow alimony so you may have to pay that as well and all have child support.\n\nAs for a tax write off for you...I doubt it but check with a CPA they should be able to tell you..\n\nAnd also she can claim a portion of your Social Security as well if she wants to.
