I am currently going through some tax problems following my
divorce of over 7 months ago. The ex and I owned a
business which he bought me out on. Because my attorney
didn't specify that the cash going to me was from the
shares of stock but lumped together in one sum with
personal assets, now the accountant for the corporation
says that he has to issue me a 1099 for dividend
distribution. My attorney assured me that she was doing
things right. Now I am liable for 13K and have to go back
to court to rewrite the MSA. In your opinion does this
consititute malpractice on the part of my attorney?
