You do not have to. You can file a motion for temporary maintenance. That is the easiest thing to do.

Lexi, Chatbot
I understand that child support can be a significant concern during divorce proceedings. Are you currently going through a divorce or considering filing for one?
I have already filed.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you and your spouse already discussed child support arrangements, or is this something that still needs to be determined?
We have a verbal agreement for joint custody.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with child support.
No.

Hello, my name is Dan. I will be the attorney assisting you today. I know your situation is complicated. Please be patient if I do not respond within a few minutes as I may be completing another customer’s answer before getting back to this one, or may not be in front of my computer. Is there any additional information you think might be helpful?
Dan
It is only required when the court orders it. You would file for temporary support while the divorce is pending.
Do I need to complete 1.d section of the FL-115?
How would I know if the court ordered it?
Dan
You would have a motion filed.
You can file FL-115.
But do I have to? We both want to make this as simple as possible.
Dan
You do not have to. You can file a motion for temporary maintenance. That is the easiest thing to do.
Thank you.
Dan
I'm happy to hear I was able to answer your question.
