In his Divorce Law column, Alton L. Abramowitz writes: Since the adoption of the Income Tax, the U.S. Congress has repeatedly wrestled with the question of which taxpayers should be burdened with the payment of income tax in a myriad of situations, oftentimes in an effort to maximize the amount of tax that the government can collect.
