Temporary spousal support is a support order that exists after a petition for divorce or legal separation has been filed, but before a final judgment of divorce has been entered. Permanent spousal support refers to a support order that exists after a judgment of dissolution has been entered. The purpose of temporary spousal support is to ensure that the supported spouse is able to meet his or her needs while a divorce case is pending. Permanent spousal support is generally ordered to maintain the standard of living that existed during the marriage.
