I got a letter from my lawyer stating that 80% of the $60K in fees that I paid related to the obtaining of a support order, which rendered them deductible. These fees straddled a two year period and so I claimed them over two taxation years. The letter is standard. I've seen lots of em.
There is no carryover provision unless the fees reduce your taxable income to less than zero, in which case a non-capital loss arises, which can be carried back three years and forward ten years.
