No, you cannot deduct legal fees for personal business such as child support, custody, or a divorce. If the legal advice or fees are associated with pursuing legally reportable and taxable income then ensure it is billed separately from any non-deductible expenses so it is easiest to deduct the legal fees that are allowable.
