Can a Court order payment of support during the marriage?
The law relating to this aspect varies from state to state and accordingly, one spouse may be ordered to pay support to the other spouse. One spouse may bring a lawsuit against the other spouse for his/her failure to provide support. In addition, if a county furnishes support to a spouse, the county may seek a court order to obtain reimbursement for support furnished, continuing support and attorney fees incurred in the action.
