Its bad advice. Not to mention when he is unsuccessful arguing it, you will have all of those expenses plus your legal fees and potentially your ex husband’s fees. If you can’t afford it yourself and you didn’t have it during the marriage then there is no chance you are going to “win” those expenses.
Remember that spousal is to get you on your feet to be self sufficient. You didnt have a long marriage and you are still young and able to work.

Q
My lawyer advised me to consider hiring a full time housekeeper in addition to my nanny so I can show high expenses even though we didn't have this during the marriage. Are you saying his advice is wrong? He seems to be off the opinion the higher my expenses, my current debt and my moderate income, combined with my ex husbands luxurious lifestyle he will be able to potentially argue for spousal support until my kids turn 18 which is in at least another 10 years from now.
A: No.
Q. Why did you hire a housekeeper after you separated?
A: My lawyer told me to to increase my spousal support claim.
*Insert judicial crucifixion*
Please bring a blank cheque to the court house, as your husband will be leaving with whatever will clear.

Not to mention you have to give disclosure.
Were any of those cases even remotely similar to yours where the wife was earning 150k and gave up her job either near or after separation to start a business? I have a feeling you are picking and choosing elements of cases and assuming you will get the same for one minor reason.
The fact that you gave up a good paying job will be key in your ex’s argument for no more ss. You were fully self sufficient but you quit and expected him to pay your way.

Just keep digging your hole there.
