Money makes divorce look a little different.
It is riskier to litigate high income cases in Court because there is less guidance from the law.

For example, in New York, the statute that governs child support (Child Support Standards Act) caps the parties’ combined parental income at $141,000. If the combined parental income exceeds $141,000, then a court looks to numerous subjective standards to determine the appropriate amount of child support.
