Alabama Divorce Law - Temporary Alimony

Under Alabama divorce law it is possible to obtain temporary alimony from your spouse while the divorce is proceeding.  An Alabama divorce lawyer will file a motion for Pendente Lite with the court in order to obtain this temporary support.  Pendente lite is Latin for "while the action is pending."  Temporary alimony or support in Alabama is often required when a spouse cannot sustain the same standard of living during the divorce she/he would have maintained prior to the divorce proceedings.  Often, temporary support is given to spouses going through an Alabama divorce proceeding when the spouse has no other assets, i.e. a stay at home mom and wife without any other income.  However, even with additional income, if you are unable to maintain the same standard of living to which you are accustomed, you may be eligible for temporary alimony during the Alabama divorce. 

Temporary alimony is just that, temporary.  It will end when the divorce ends and will be replaced by a final spousal support award.  If you are experiencing difficulties in maintaining your standard of living during a divorce, you owe it to yourself to contact an experienced Alabama Divorce lawyer and attorney as soon as possible.  The Alabama divorce and family law attorneys and lawyers of Eversole Law will make sure you get the Alabama temporary support and alimony you deserve.

My daughter in Huntsville Ala. filed for diivorce in June 2007. Her lawyer says it may be months before the court date. She is not able to support herself and gets nothing from him. Is 16 months a normal time for a court date?

Thank you for letting me know I won't be homeless.I have recently been diagnosed with RSD and for my husband when he heard perminent that doesn't work.He announced that he wanted a divorce after a disagreement with me borrowing my friends steam cleaner. As well, states my baby and I have to move out!!!!!!! Wow, I don't beleive after supporting him thru Iraq,ptsd and all that I have, once again ...Well, at least I know he can't just put us out, unlike last time. Almost 4 yrs of marriage,he's soon to be 49 and I'm 41 now seen as a liability instead of a commodity to him.I knew my disability was an issue but, wasn't prepared for this. Make it A Great Day!!!
