Consider a contemporary scenario: A woman waits until the eve of her husband's deployment overseas to file divorce papers, including a request for pendente lite support, exclusive possession of the marital residence, continued insurance coverage, and power of attorney over the husband's affairs. In contrast to Richardson, in which the divorce court merely implied who would bear the tax burden, in Jaffee a temporary order by the state court clearly showed the husband would be responsible for income taxes on his wife's "alimony pendente lite," that is, alimony while the suit was in progress. It must be disconcerting for a judge to read a brief which consists primarily of the lawyer's pendente lite credo. |
