Sadly, the standard is "to the lifestyle she has become accustomed".
So if she can demonstrate a history of purchases and expenditure, that is the run-rate they will use.
Crazy.
I see, I didn't know that however your life style was, it has to be continued.
Pretty much a shame really, did she get 50% of their earnings too?
I mean I love my girl and we will hopefully get married when finances allow, but still, if we get divorced, I aint gonna be paying her a penny of stuff which I consider excess.
I recall hJin going on BS and most hated her. She was moaning about running a few hosues etc...
When a couple decides to file for divorce, lifestyle analysis is the systematic reconstruction of income/expense inflows and outflow pre- and post-separation. The analysis establishes the parties' marital standard of living, used as a benchmark in reaching a divorce settlement.
Many recent court judgments have underscored a number of universal needs concerning lifestyle analysis. Litigants, divorce attorneys and family court judges must understand and appropriately consider "lifestyle," In addition, developing a uniform approach to analyzing marital lifestyle, conveying the lifestyle analysis data to one's adversary and ultimately, to the court are critical.
Common Lifestyle Analysis Problems
One common problem arises when one party, in contemplation of divorce, unilaterally alters the historical spending practices of the family. For example, if the supporting spouse moves out of the marital residence and refuses to provide adequate support for the spouse and dependent(s), the action may artificially reduce expenditures. In situations where spending is inconsistent with the historical marital standard, the periods of unusual expenditures should be excluded from the analysis. As an alternative, the lifestyle analysis results will provide data that is accurate, if you look at financial records in an earlier time frame to calculate spending more indicative of the marital lifestyle.
