This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
[quote]I STILL don't understand what kind of law it is in your state that requires temporary support payments or fixes it at a very specific amount like that. It makes no sense. In most states, things like alimony/spousal maintenance payments are really dependent upon a whole lot of things as well as the independent judgment of the judges involved... I know of no states which have a statute or rule on the books saying, "if she leaves, you must pay"... I'd LOVE your lawyer's explanation of how he arrived at that number and what statute he's relying upon to get there... and WHY he has not suggested a way to get it lowered so that you might be able to afford to live while separated!

i've only posted about 1000 posts, cant you remember this one? :)
Here in PA they take my income minus hers and x .40 and that's my alimony. Rule 1910 16-4 if anyone is interested. ----------------------------------------- ok where i was wrong in that post is that isnt my alimony, that is my pre divorce support. That formula was in a law book and the atty showed it to me. She said if my wife moves out today, i must pay her 1100 a month until the D is final.
She also said the judge is not supposed to use that as a POST support figure but they usually do.
This was told to me by the 150/hr atty i hired AND the 300/hr atty i interviewed. So i firmly believe it is true. The 300/hr even said insurance and other expenses would be ON TOP of the 1100 alimony...i cannot do that..period.
