In the unpublished ruling on the case of Redskins owner and professional horse breeder Jack Kent Cooke (Cooke v. Cooke, 5 VLW 1195 (Va. Ct. App., 5/21/91)), some important rulings were made. The Court rejected the wife's argument that a child support award was not appropriate in view of the husband's enormous wealth and the baby's supposed entitlement to funds enabling her to preserve the standard of living to which she would like her to have become accustomed had the marriage survived. The Court observed that many of the expense items claimed for the baby daughter might well be appropriate in later years as the child matures and has social contacts and activities, but that child support awards must be based on current circumstances, being modifiable on the basis of future events.
