- On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Act) was signed into law by President Trump. The Act represents one of the most significant overhauls to American tax law in more than 30 years; it significantly changes how individuals, businesses, tax-exempt organizations, and others are taxed. The Act affects every individual taxpayer, from wage earners to business owners, and all business entities. Although the Act provides benefits for some, it is widely believed that a number of changes will make divorce more difficult and expensive., Author, How the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 Affects Divorce, Colorado Lawyer, Law & Accounting, 2018
