Quote: “The temporary nature of the $129,000-per-month amount also makes it a trap. If the judge’s final ruling on child support is significantly less, he could make that order ‘retroactive,’ which means that Christine Baumgartner might have to pay back the excess she received each month. That money might have to come from her $1 million settlement. If Christine doesn’t make good decisions and get good rulings, she could be financially wiped out.“
