The divorce process for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt started two years ago. Most couples in Maryland or elsewhere around the country would not anticipate that the process would take that long for them. Likely, Jolie and Pitt did not suspect that either; early responses from them indicated that they were anxious to settle their differences and move on. Needless to say, that resolution has not yet occurred. One of the major issues that is still being hotly disputed is that of child custody and how their children should be raised.
Judge set to make decision in couple's high asset divorce
When a Maryland couple decides to end a marriage, there are many discussions about how assets will be divided between them. Accusations of lying or unfaithfulness may come into play while deliberations occur. However, most couples in the state or elsewhere around the country are not determining how hundreds of millions of dollars will be split. A couple in the midst of a high asset divorce in another state is awaiting a judge's decision about their case.
Changes coming next year in how alimony will be taxed
Going through a divorce can often be a lengthy process for couples in Maryland and others around the country. They must address a multitude of issues as they work toward separating the various aspects of their lives. Though a divorce is not something that should be rushed, many experts have suggested that those contemplating a divorce should consider finalizing it in 2018. The impetus behind this suggestion concerns the new way alimony will be treated for tax purposes, beginning next year.
Issue of child support in Pitt/Jolie divorce
When couples in Maryland or others around the country go through the divorce process, tensions may often run high. When the couples have children, discussions around custody or child support can become rather contentious. However, for most couples, every statement or decision they make in a divorce is not plastered all over the tabloids. Unfortunately, this is the situation for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as they continue to navigate through a messy split.
