Re: spousal support calculation

There is no specific formula codified in Virginia law of which I'm aware to determine an appropriate amount of spousal support(unlike child support which does have a required formula).

Consequently, it would seem that you or your counsel should be arguing that this particular financial windfall which you expect to reap this year should be treated as a one time event and excluded from all calculations having to do with whatever your spousal support obligation may eventually turn out to be.
