Assignment 2: Midweek Production Assignment: Pendente Lite Support

Parents have a legal obligation to support their minor children. This gets complicated during the pendency of a divorce since the parties are not yet divorced and thus “final” orders cannot be entered. That does not relieve the parents of their obligation and if the non-custodial parent refuses support, a Motion must be filed with the Court to have the Court order the support. Further, read the scenario below and answer the following questions too.

Richard and Susan are in the process of a divorce. They had two children together during the course of their marriage. Richard refused to pay Susan child support for their children. Susan cannot support the children on her own and needs Richard to pay child support. Prepare a motion for Pendente Lite Child Support to compel Richard to pay Susan child support. Use the template to draft the motion. Click hereto download and review the template.
