Can I claim legal fees for a separation and spousal support agreements

 

Credits and deductions

Legal fees paid to obtain a separation, divorce, or establish custody or visitation arrangements for a child aren't deductible. Similarly, for the person who must pay support, legal fees paid to establish, negotiate, or contest the amount of support payments aren't deductible.
