Pendente Lite Alimony (temporary alimony)

Pendente Lite Alimony

This is a type of potentially temporary alimony that begins before the divorce is final and/or a property settlement agreement is agreed upon by the parties. The purpose is to keep the status quo until the parties are finally divorced. The awards can be changed by the court or the parties but it is very difficult, as a practical matter, since the judge applies all of the pertinent factors that would be analyzed in reaching a final, permanent alimony.
