Establishing the Marital Lifestyle in Divorce Mediation NJ
When it comes to the establishment of child support and more specifically spousal support / alimony figures during divorce mediation NJ, we use the “marital lifestyle” as the basis for our discussions. The marital lifestyle is established in most cases through the use of the parties’ budgets although in some instances, the use of a “lifestyle statement” is necessary as the couples’ expenses are above what the average New Jersey resident may deem typical and further explanation is needed. As I often remind couples: you may no longer be a couple but if there is a child support or spousal support / alimony payment between you, your financial futures are inextricably tied together and therefore it is important to understand where you have been and where you are going financially to avoid issues down the road.
