Petition for Temporary Spousal Support

A Petition for Temporary Spousal Support is a legal document filed by either spouse in a divorce or separation case, requesting the court to order the payment of temporary support while the case is pending. The petition typically includes information about the parties’ income and expenses, the standard of living during the marriage, and any other relevant factors, and may include a proposed support amount based on state guidelines or other criteria. The purpose of the petition is to ensure that the economically disadvantaged spouse has adequate financial support during the divorce or separation process.
