For the purposes of alimony calculation is there an averaging that goes on for income? For 18 of the 20 years I have beeb married I made between 60 and 80000. 2 years ago I found a new position that almost doubled that. We did not raise our cost or standard of living as a result of that increase.

My wife is largely underemployed and harness last now than she did when we got married despite completing several career trainings in the areas of medical office management.
