Bloomberg News: Bonus Pay Changes Put ‘Massive Wrench’ in Wall Street Divorces

Restrictions on U.S. executives‟ bonuses are complicating divorce settlements, increasing legal bills and raising the prospect that some may have to transfer children out of private schools or sell second homes.

Sue Moss suggests that working spouses should weigh in on giving a percentage of their compensation to their ex-spouses instead of committing to a specific number in case their compensation declines.
