I have watched your videos on how to fill out all the forms and foremost I want to thank you and congratulate you. I looked through the forum but did not find this answer so hope this question will b useful to others as well.
Both income and the value of assets change with time. My date of separation is May 2018, but I am filling these out on Dec 2018. So what date do I use to fill these out if situation has changed in between? Specifically:
a) FL-150 Do I use my salary from today, or from May? I got a significant raise in between. I am afraid that if I use todays salary my wife will get more alimony when in fact she never benefited from that standard of living with my raise.
b) FL-150 Do I use my expenses now that we are sorta financially separated or what it was right before we “separated”?
c) FL-142 You mentioned on bank statements and balances to use the date of separation, should that not be true with all assets, my car has depreciated, my home has appreciated, loans have been paid etc? So which date do I use to take the snapshot of what Assets are worth.
d) And generally is there a good place on the forms to explain all this that the judge pays attention to?
Thank you
