Divorce Question

[TPK]

Soc, (or anybody)

1. Which state would be more divorce "friendly" for me NJ or NY??

Mainly interested in which state is most likely to make me pay alimony. It's only been a 14 month marriage. No joint accounts, no property to whack-up etc.

2. Daughter is living with Mom as we know, do I have any chance of getting child tax exemption or do I have to ask her to give it to me??


Soc, don't throw a tantrum about NJ again, I'm just mulling my options. I know I said I was done in NJ, but it won't hurt to know my options. NJ lawyer is on vacation so he's unavailable for comment.

It's up to the judge. But, more than likely, if you are granted the exemption, your support payments will be set higher to offset the tax benefit received.
