A lot!  That’s why the CBA Family Law Section collaborated with Justice Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency, and Finance Canada to develop the Tax Matters Toolkit.

The Toolkit will help family law lawyers and their clients understand how tax rules might affect their future finances on separation or divorce.  It explains the various credits, benefits and deductions, and will help you navigate and apply the often complex tax laws to the particular circumstances of your clients.

The Toolkit for clients is available in PDF HERE; we recommend you review it if you or your lawyer has flagged a tax issue as part of your legal matter.
