Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Staylor2023 how much is the tax versus the cost of the attorney? 

 

take (the capital gain less $250,000) times 15% (and could be as high as 23.8%, depending on your ex's income) and then take half of that - THAT would be your half in a worst case scenario.  How does that compare to the legal cost of fighting this in court or otherwise settling it?
