1. 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.
