Spousal support (alimony or spousal maintenance) is usually estimated at the early stage of a divorce by a computer program. It uses a very long very complex set of factors to come with a number that is “fair”.
When the parties are wealthy and have a very high monthly income though, the program will produce a number that is absurd. I had a client who was making about a million dollars a month, and the child support was well into the six figures. For a one year old. Obviously that would not make sense so we argued he was a “high earner” and should be allowed to step outside the guideline support awarded by the computer program. Being a high earner means the judge is goin got now look at the realistic situation and make a ruling in what is needs to support a child or a spouse. In the case of actor Jessie Williams he’s a high earner at over $500,000 a month so his ex wife is getting a big number that may have been even bigger under the Dissomaster Guidelines.
