The marital standard of living is one of the factors a court considers, and in a Boca Raton marriage it often reflects a level of spending that the lower-earning spouse wants to maintain and the higher-earning spouse argues was unsustainable. Documenting the actual lifestyle, from housing and travel to club memberships and discretionary spending, gives the court a factual basis rather than competing claims.
Brodzki Jacobs gathers that documentation early in the case so the standard-of-living argument is grounded in evidence rather than assertion.
