Your Orlando Divorce Attorney or Orlando Child Custody Attorney may request Temporary Child Support after your Divorce or Dissolution of Marriage has been filed. There are situations in which the spouse who has traditionally been the primary income provider has left the marital home. The remaining spouse is now financially unable to provide for the children. Your Family Law Attorney can file a Motion for Temporary Child Support to ensure you will be able to maintain the ability to support your children while you are finalizing your divorce.
After thoroughly discussing the details of your case, your attorney may request other temporary relief such as alimony and timesharing. You should provide as much information as possible regarding your family and financial position during your initial consultation with your lawyer. Keep in mind that the parties in a Florida Divorce will typically be required to attend mediation before any temporary relief motions will be heard by the Court. As well, an award of temporary child support may be just that, temporary. It does not guarantee that you will ultimately be granted support as part of your Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage.
If you have questions or concerns surrounding Temporary Support or any other aspect of your Orange County Divorce, please call our office to schedule an initial consultation with Family Law Attorney Wade P. Luther. You may contact us by email or by calling (407) 835-9900.
