Pendente lite is a temporary support that the court will order at the outset of a divorce.
It is designed to keep the lower-earning spouse financially viable for the duration of the divorce action, and the terms of pendente lite support will be modified by the final divorce settlement.
For many of our clients, pendente lite support is the mechanism by which they are able to leave a bad marriage that they have made enormous sacrifices for.
Pendente lite means that instead of being destitute as soon as they file, our clients can continue on with a good standard of living and start living their lives on their own terms.
If you’re ready to leave your marriage but are concerned about your financial future, call the Rochester divorce attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer today at 585-484-7432 for a legal consultation.
