A quick definition of provisional alimony:

Provisional alimony is money that one spouse pays to the other spouse while they are separated, going through a divorce, or after they are divorced. It is meant to help the receiving spouse with their living expenses. There are different types of alimony, such as temporary, permanent, rehabilitative, and reimbursement alimony. Alimony payments are taxable income for the receiving spouse and are deductible for the paying spouse.

A more thorough explanation:

Provisional alimony is a court-ordered allowance that one spouse pays to the other spouse for maintenance and support while they are separated, while they are involved in a matrimonial lawsuit, or after they are divorced. It is also known as temporary alimony.

For example, if a couple is going through a divorce and one spouse is financially dependent on the other, the court may order the financially independent spouse to pay provisional alimony to the other spouse until the divorce is finalized and a permanent alimony arrangement is made.

Provisional alimony is different from other types of alimony, such as permanent alimony, which is payable in weekly or monthly installments either indefinitely or until a time specified by court order. Provisional alimony is only temporary and is meant to provide support until a more permanent arrangement can be made.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again

My wife and I have great and open communication but one night she kept asking me why this girl is blowing up my phone with messages/pictures so I showed her... she got a new puppy and got drunk so had her puppy doing a fashion shoot at 11pm.

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that

babycat

15:18

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

15:20

Like if more cheaters just paused and rubbed one out they would be like you know maybe ill just watch some TV

babycat

15:20

I've seen some people do a really good job keeping their family out of it. But it really is an "anything they can use against you, they will" type of vibe

babycat

Ugh I need to go work on essays bye folks
