Description

Under the new tax laws, dependency exemptions are gone. What does this mean for family law attorneys? The Child Tax Credit has been expanded. Head of household filing status means more than in the past. And don't forget about the Dependent Care Credit, either.

This program shares with family lawyers what they must know to represent clients with children and what can be negotiated in settlements moving forward.
