JACKSON, Judge
(concurring specially):
By its own language, the court’s opinion in Howell v. Howell, 806 P.2d 1209, 1212 (Utah App.1991), limits its determination that the standard of living should be determined as of the time of trial to the specific facts of that case. Accordingly, I do not agree that Howell establishes a general rule that the standard of living must be determined as of the time of trial. Rather, the trial court has discretion to determine whether the standard of living should be determined as of separation or as of the time of trial.
