Sure, but once your income goes back up so does the alimony, at least in the US

Wasn't there a comedian/actor who was/is living in Canada to avoid maintenance payments he couldn't possibly make, as the calculation was done with he had just received about three years income in a single cheque, and he doesn't actually make 3 years income each month

I wouldn't be surprised, based on that, if what matters is income on the day of the court order

Dave Foley

Foley married Canadian writer Tabatha Southey on December 31, 1991.[14] They divorced in 1997.[14] The couple has two children.[14] In 2001, an interim child support agreement obligated Foley to pay Southey $10,700 a month, a figure based on his income when NewsRadio was in production. By 2011, Foley claimed that his earnings had declined to the point that the $10,700 sum constituted "literally 400 percent of [his] income" but he was unable to get the obligation reduced in court

Usually it is your "potential". I.e. a programmer can't just decide to drop programming and start something that doesn't bring any money. It's also possible to renegotiate it if you lost a job or the like.
