At any time during a divorce proceeding, you can ask the court to give you relief while the divorce is pending. This is particularly important for stay-at-home spouses who may have left the workforce and are financially dependent on their partner. This relief can allow you to continue to receive financial support from your spouse while the divorce continues. Remember, contested divorces can often drag on for longer than a year, so this type of relief, if needed, can be indispensable.
