Description
This case presents the common but difficult question of deciding what is an equitable division of a husbands salary for the benefit of his divorced wife and minor children. Neither the Legislature nor this court has devised any litmus test that guarantees Solomonic certainty in determining the maximum or minimum amount of support that a wife and minor children are entitled to receive or the amount of salary that a husband is entitled to retain. Ballou v. Ballou, 95 N.H. 105. The Trial Court is accorded a wide discretion in such matters both at the time of the original divorce decree and at any hearing for a modification of the support order. Peterson v. Buxton, 108 N.H. 77, 78 ; Benjamin v. Benjamin, 99 N. H. 117, 119; Guggenheimer v. Guggenheimer, 99 N.H. 399, 403.
