This week, Ryan Kalamaya focuses on spousal support or maintenance in high-income divorces. He shares insights into how maintenance is determined once property division is settled, and why the standard Colorado maintenance guidelines and formulas don't apply when combined incomes exceed $240,000 per year. If you've ever wondered about the intricacies of alimony in the face of substantial earnings and assets, this episode sheds light on the subject with practical tips for those facing similar circumstances. 

Listen in as he discuss the myriad factors that influence spousal support awards, such as the duration of the marriage, the age and health of the parties involved, and most importantly, the standard of living established during the marriage. Also, discover why someone like Warren Buffett's modest living habits could impact support calculations, and why taxes are a significant consideration in high-income divorces.
