Abstract
Using the legal fees arising out of the complicated divorce of Doris Day’s son as an example, the author looks at when legal fees are deductible. The focus of the article is on the legal fees that result from a divorce and whether a taxpayer can find a way to characterize some of these fees as arising under the ordinary course of business, even when the reason for the underlying transactions trace back to the personal matter of a marital separation.
