Get Temporary NJ Support During New Jersey Divorce - Including Alimony, Child Custody & Visitation

“Who pays the bills during the divorce process?”
After you make the difficult life decision to end your marriage, it is natural to have a feeling of financial uncertainty. For some, the time between filing for a New Jersey divorce and the day the divorce is finalized can take extended months or even years. This period of temporary support is known as “pendente lite,” a Latin term that means, “while litigation is pending.” A pendente lite order ensures support for both parties and the children until a final settlement is reached or a judgment of divorce is entered.

•    Examples of issues that may be addressed with a Pendente Lite order: One spouse may be compelled to continue paying expenses such as the mortgage, credit cards, medical and life insurance.<br/>
•    Immediate temporary support may be ordered for the lower-earning spouse and children.<br/>
•    A temporary visitation schedule may be fixed, even if both spouses live under the same roof. For instance, it will specify who takes the kids to activities on certain days and who enjoys uninterrupted time with the children on weekends.
•    Payment for professional retainers may be established, including attorneys, appraisers, business valuation experts, pension valuations, custody expert fees, etc.
•    Permission may be granted to tap into home equity resources or financial accounts in order to meet expenses.
