Yes, my attorney two years ago warned me about family court judges' propensity to rule at something very close to "the lifestyle to which she is accustomed," and told me that if there was anything I could do to scale back her lifestyle, it would be in my best interests. She took on more hours (and was actually working very close to full-time when she was having her affair), and we got rid of the BMW 5-series and got her a Scion.
I am very concerned that I might be setting up some sort of precedent here, but really, I think this will take care of itself, because I really CAN'T afford a second residence under the current income and expense situation.
