Request for Temporary Support

A Request for Temporary Support is a legal document filed by a parent in a child support case, asking the court to order the other parent to pay child support on a temporary basis while the case is pending. The request typically includes information about the child(ren)’s needs and the parents’ financial circumstances, and may be based on the state’s child support guidelines or other factors. The purpose of the request is to ensure that the child(ren) receive adequate financial support during the pendency of the case.
