A divorce is a trying time for all parties, and this case was no different. We were hired by the wife’s attorney. Both husband and wife were successful physicians; however, she had left her career to raise their children years before. Despite an income over $3 million, the husband was resisting the notion of paying alimony since his wife had high earning potential if she chose to return to work. He also noted that since he hadn’t wanted the divorce, he felt it wasn’t fair to pay alimony. The wife felt she deserved alimony, a position which her attorneys believed was supported by the law. The husband also claimed he had no extramarital affairs.
