What are the legal obligations for the ACLU in this case in regards to fact checking Amber's claims before publication? Are they potentially on the hook for anything if it is decided that Amber lied or did they do enough? (assuming they had to do anything at all)

There's an actual malice (actual knowledge of falsity or reckless indifference) standard so it's very hard for them to get in trouble. Unless there's evidence that they didn't believe Amber but published her anyway, which I doubt exists.

Biscuit, division of community property in California is usually not a taxable event. The idea is you are dividing property you already own (not income) so why would there be a tax to receive what is yours by right?
