This whole Schwarzenegger thing got me thinking...
If a guy was making $1M a year, is married for 20 years, then gets divorced, I know he has to maintain his wife's lifestyle going forward (or at least until she remarries).
But let's say the same guy increases his income post-divorce to $10M a year. Do his payments increase if he's already supporting his wife at the lifestyle she previously had? i.e., does she benefit from his subsequent increase in income?
I know guys try to hide their income come divorce time but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about a guy who goes out and works his ass off post-divorce and starts making a shitload more money than he's ever done before. Can his ex-wife get her claws into that?
