Despite the importance lawyers might place on a motion to compel in a particular case, the fact is itâs probably the most routine motion decided by judges. So for the ordinary motion to compel thereâs no reason to include voluminous legal authority to support basic legal propositions.
Alimony is a legal financial arrangement between separated or divorced couples, whereby one partner provides regular payments to the other. It is only available to couples that have been legally married. Unmarried couples have palimony for relief.
There are two types of alimony: 1  Alimony during the wait for the divorce-This is also called alimony pedente lite. 2  Alimony after the divorce-Permanent alimony is payment made by one party to the other after the divorce, either by court order or by mutual agreement. A court can award this type of alimony between the time you file for divorce (and make a request for alimony) and the time the divorce is final. 2  The purpose of this type of alimony is to maintain the status quo during the divorce. 3  It does not necessarily mean that you will be awarded alimony after the divorce.
