A Taxing Problem: Divorce follows Taxes

Although not necessarily inevitable as death and taxes, some people seem to thing that divorce and taxes go hand in hand.

An AP story recently reported the opinion of Bevery Pekala, a Chicago divorce lawyer says that her practice picks up significantly right after tax day. She said people in troubled marriages find out a lot about each other when they get their financial papers in order to pay their taxes. She says this is especially true for spouses who aren't up to speed on family or business finances.
