Plan for support from ex husband doesn't seem right
A husband and brother jointly own a business, paying themselves salaries while covering all expenses through the company, including personal items like cell phones, cars, vacations, sporting event tickets, and a ski condo addition. The husband's lawyer claims support payments will be based solely on his salary, urging the wife to work as much as she does in the summer to cover the lifestyle difference.
The husband proposes to buy the wife out by giving her his half of the house equity and paying her the rest over ten years, as he doesn't have the cash now. The wife wonders if she can receive more support and suggests lowering the business value, either by negotiating a lower support amount or continuing to fund family expenses until the children become adults, while reducing the business value.
