$ 1,000,000 tax free, non-modifiable alimony awarded to Wife in contested divorce.
N/AOUTCOME:
Our office represented the Wife in a divorce proceeding against a Husband who refused to admit to his history of infidelity. After much discussion and negotiation, our client received an alimony award ... of $1,000,000 which was designated as tax-free income to her. During the negotiations, the attorneys at Hagenbrok & Hagenbrok PLLC fought vigorously for this award to be considered non-dischargeable in bankruptcy and that it not be modifiable in the future if Father later sought to change it. Thankfully, the award was considered non-modifiable because just one week later the Husband lost his job. Since Wife skillfully included this provision in her settlement documents, Husband continued to pay Wife the alimony he agreed to even during his period of unemployment.
