The courts in WI are SUPPOSED to base child support and spousal maintenance on earnings potential, not what you happen to be earning at the moment. Otherwise, I would quit my job and go work at McDonalds. They would say, no way. You can earn $100k and you will pay based on that no matter where you work.
Same should be true for her and I believe that it probably will be. At least that is what my attorney is indicating. I just hope it has to start NOW. No more weekdays at the beach and movies with the kids! Go to work. Although I don't like that as much for the kids, they will have to deal with it for the time being and I will have to do more with them on vacation days and weekends.
