DISCLOSURE: The law mandates both spouses to provide the other with all information related to their property, income, assets and debts. This is called Full Disclosure. Failing to fully disclose all relevant information or concealing information can have serious consequences. Its important to be precise in detailing assets and debts.

HEALTH INSURANCE: Unless it is agreed upon and part of a settlement agreement, one spouse covered by health insurance need not pay health insurance premiums for the other spouse after divorce. But, the spouse without coverage can continue the insurance coverage at his or her own expense for up to 3 years at the same or similar rates. To get benefit of this right, the spouse not insured has to inform the other spouses insurance company within 90 days of the final order.

Support Payments and Divorce

Fixed payments for child support are not deductible for tax purposes. If the amount paid is lowered conditional on the child – like as attaining a specified age, dying, leaving school or marrying - the amount of the specified reduction is treated as child support.
