Steve Cizik, Partner at The Harris Law Firm will be presenting an upcoming online Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program focused on the often-overlooked tax implications involved in divorce proceedings. The virtual presentation, titled “The Divorce Tax: Common Pitfalls and Mitigating Taxation Exposures,” will take place on May 27, 2026, through the Raising the Bar Virtual CLE Series.
Family law cases frequently involve significant financial and tax-related considerations that can impact settlement outcomes long after an agreement is finalized. This CLE presentation is designed to help attorneys better identify and navigate these issues to protect their clients from unintended liabilities and costly mistakes.
Topics Covered During the CLE
- Tax filing strategies during divorce proceedings
- Identifying missing or inaccurately disclosed income
- Tax implications related to real estate, retirement accounts, and asset division
- Planning for future tax events and audit exposure
- Drafting settlement language that helps minimize IRS-related risks
The presentation will focus on practical strategies attorneys can use during negotiations and settlement drafting to avoid inequitable tax consequences and improve long-term client outcomes.
Steve Cizik serves as Partner and Managing Attorney of the Tax Division at Harris Law Firm, where he handles complex tax matters involving individuals, businesses, and family law clients. He regularly advises clients on IRS negotiations, collections defense, tax strategy, and financial issues arising in high-stakes family law disputes.
