Child Support and Spousal Support During Divorce
People regularly question how they are to survive while the divorce is pending. Stay at home parents who raised the children or even those who are just unemployed and counted on their spouse's income during the marriage, wonder where am I going to get money to live on while the divorce is ongoing.
The law provides that while the divorce is pending, spouses may be eligible for temporary spousal support (no longer called alimony) and child support while the divorce is in progress. The law provides for a guideline calculation based on each party's income, tax withholdings and the time spent with the children (in considering child support). The courts use a computer program in determining the amount. The party seeking the support must bring a motion to the court in order for the support order to be made.
