temporary spousal support

[alezajex]

WV

my wife walked out of our marriage w/ 1 yr kid. Judge ordered me to provide temporary spousal support because she doesn't work. My lawyer told me its temporary and if I file for divorce, it will be voided. I filed for divorce next day. (not because I didn't wanted to pay, but we are at the point). My concern is my first payment is due Mar 25. Do I pay or wait for divorce hearing and see what judge orders? the order does say I have 90 days to pay. Then why give me a date of Mar 25 to pay?
I am barely saving any money from my part-time. W2 income minus rent saves me nothing. I don't have much to pay.

asking this here because of 2nd opinion

Generally, you need to do what the court has directed you to do. However, you are represented, so this is a question for your attorney.

I am not in good terms with my
Lawyer. He is getting fire soon.

do I have the right to appeal?

Appeal what?

That doesn't change the fact that you are represented NOW.

Also, as I stated, it is generally expected that you abide by the court order.

Did your spouse leave the child with you? If not, have you been asked to pay child support?
It may be time to look for full time work.

I would pay as the court order has not yet been voided.

You also need to find a f/t job or at least another p/t job.

Pay it. Abide by the order you have until the order is changed.

Complying with a current court order is viewed favorably; not complying with a court order can hurt your credibility. Being credible in the eyes of the judge means that the judge is more likely to believe what you say. This can be helpful.

I have observed that when a person loses credibility with a judge, it is tough to regain it.
