Hi all
I'm back to the same topic again and it's simply that there seems to be no answer to my questions regarding spousal support and the concept of standard of living.
I'll try again! lol
The last three years of my income tax (which are from when I was still with my wife) show an average annual income of approx. $30,000. About 9 months AFTER we separated I took a job making triple that. How is it possible that she should get spousal support based on my new, post separation salary?
If she is indeed entitled to share in my good fortune then wouldn't this mean that, hypothetically speaking, if I suddenly started making $500,000 next year, then she could go back to the court to adjust her spousal support based on that amount?
Does anyone understand what I am getting at here? Ha!
In my mind, she should only get spousal support based on the last three years of my income while we were together. Don't you think?
Arg! I know it's only fair....but then again, who said anything about the laws are fair. However, it is also common sense as far as I'm concerned. This woman refused and still refuses to work. If she gets her spousal support award based on my new salary, she will be living a better standard of living then when we were together. Of course she won't try to get a job! Who would when they don't have to do anything and they still get a comfortable income.
I'm so, so frustrated!
