Alimony can be awarded while the divorce case is pending. You are legally entitled to file these papers yourself, but because this is a complicated area, you should first try to find an attorney to represent you. If you cannot afford to pay an attorney, you may be able to receive free assistance from a local "legal aid" clinic. To find a local legal aid clinic, you can try the phone book or using <a href="http://www.lsc.gov/map/index.php">this Web site</a>.
