Hello, we have agreed to an amount of spousal support for 30 months. It's not exactly calculated the way the guidelines suggest, but both are happy with results.
We need to figure out how to adjust for any change in her income. Assume right now, she is unemployed. If she starts making any money, her income goes up, mine stays same. Ignoring how child support changes, what are common ways to adjust for her change?
For example, I'll get 1700/month, she'll get 1300/month of total 3000/month (because I'm saddled with a hefty car payment which is why it isn't 1500/1500). If she gets a job and makes 1000/mth net, she'll be making 2300/mth, me 1700/mth still. If she makes 2000/mth net, she goes up to 3300/mth, i'm still at 1700/mth.
Would taking her last 6 months of net income and adjusting for the following 6 months work?
Any advice is appreciated but we're not going to use the formulas and stuff to create a big confusing calculation, we just want this one issue resolved.
Thanks,
Dan
