Too many divorce attorneys are completely worthless on tax matters. It's not that complicated anyway. Alimony is not taxable, child support is not taxable, and a child over age 18 is not covered under the special rules for children of divorced parents, so the usual dependent rules about age and residency apply. All the taxpayer needs to do is have the correct withholding for single or HOH.
