Divorce is frought with emotion, and sometimes that emotion gets channeled in unproductive, even unhealthy ways.  Well, emotions need to be in check, because the shenanigans that got a couple to the point of mutual distrust will not be tolerated under new case law.  Yes, divorcing parties have fiduciary duties to each other—among the highest form of duty between any two people—and with these duties come significant responsibilities.  Just the right time to expect the moral high-ground, right?

The law of unintended consequence rarely escapes the federal government.  When the current estate tax legislation was enacted earlier this decade, it included an unusual “sunset provision” that pushed the threshold for estate taxation up to a gross estate of $3,500,000 for decedents of 2009, but $0.00 in 2010 and then back to $1,000,000 for 2011, 2012, and 2013.  Beyond that, the threshhold is anyone’s guess.
