Do I Have to Financially Support My Ex?


A court will usually award the lower-earning spouse just enough support to meet basic needs while the divorce is proceeding. If you can’t cover your own bills, a request for temporary support will need to be filed on your behalf, because it is not an automatic award. Specifically, an attorney will file a "petition," which explains why you’re entitled to temporary support. Be prepared to produce evidence to support your request. The evidence may include your bank records pay check stubs, credit card statements, rental receipts and medical bills. The point is to show your current income and expenses.
