One of the most infamous recent California high asset divorce cases that has caught the public eye involves Frank and Jamie McCourt.  This couple, depending on whom you ask, own the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and they've been locked into a bitter fight over their assets and other issues stemming from the case that was filed.  However, this California high asset divorce case still has some similarities to most other cases, including the fact that there are times when spousal support orders will be asked to be adjusted based on economic circumstances.

Specifically, Frank McCourt was ordered by the court to Jamie McCourt $225,000 per month in spousal support and more than $400,000 per month to maintain their homes. Since that order was issued, Mr. McCourt has run into several problems regarding his ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers to the point where Major League Baseball has taken over the day-to-day operations of the team.  In addition, the Dodgers have since filed for bankruptcy protection in Delaware.

Given all of these developments and the problems surrounding them, Mr. McCourt has asked the court for his support amount to be reduced given his lack of incoming cash and income.  However, Jamie McCourt has countered by stating that Mr. McCourt has received almost $45 million since June of 2010 and should be able to maintain his current level of support.
