Your divorce paperwork can say “they’ll pay the IRS,” but that does not mean the IRS will agree. We bring on Houston tax attorney and CPA Lucy Petry to get brutally practical about the messy overlap between Texas family law and federal tax law, especially when divorce uncovers years of missing returns or a tax liability nobody budgeted for.

If you want a divorce strategy that accounts for tax debt, asset division, and real-world collection risk, this conversation will save you expensive surprises. Subscribe, share this with someone navigating a Texas divorce with tax issues, and leave a review so more people can find it!

Money doesn’t usually “disappear” in divorce. It moves, it changes accounts, it gets labeled badly, and it hides in plain sight inside tax returns, bank transfers, and business books that were never meant to be courtroom-ready. We’re joined by Denise French, managing partner at Stewart, Hurst, French, & Dodson Forensics, to explain how forensic accounting and business valuation actually work in a Texas divorce when someone suspects hidden assets, unreported accounts, or spending that just doesn’t match the story.

If you want fewer surprises and cleaner outcomes around business valuation, separate property tracing, retirement division, and QDRO timing, listen now, then subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more Texas families can find us!
