  • Can I receive child support or alimony before I am divorced?
  • Yes. In fact, one does not even need to file a Divorce Complaint in order to obtain support. Instead, a Complaint is filed for "Separate Maintenance." Even in a divorce context, while the divorce is pending, support can be awarded by the filing of a Motion and then a determination by a Court on the Motion as to how much support or alimony should be paid pending a final determination of all issues.
