When a divorce complaint is filed the Court is going to maintain the status quo. If you have always paid for everything you will have to continue, at least in the short term. Otherwise your children and wife will suffer an economic shock. The pendente order will remain as it is until the divorce is a fact, unless you can demonstrate that your wife and children will not be left high and dry so that you can have your own living space apart from them. Someone is going to suffer and it will probably be you, unless you can find some way of earning more money in the short term.

Did you have an attorney? If so, what does he/she say about all of this? If you didn't have an attorney, that's why the order is what it is.

You need a divorce attorney, immediately.

If you have an attorney, then you should be asking the lawyer to answer that question. If you do not get a good clear answer, then you need a new attorney!

90% is ridiculous, you can not live on what is left. how did this happen?
