Do the temporary orders for alimony usually carry over to the final judgement?
I had temporary hearing where alimony was set as well as an order for me to continue paying all home bills, cars, insurances, etc. The judge was very cut and dry and went by W2 from last year. What are the laws stating my obligations going into the final hearing. Can the judge continue me to pay alimony as well as all her bills and for how long. She by choice works part-time and has education and ability to work more.

Do you have an attorney? You need to get an attorney becuase if you don't it will cost you much more over the years than your legal bills. By being able to pay all that you are now you are laying a foundation that you can in the future. Not good. If she has the ability to work more - called earning capacity - that should be counted in your favor rather than allow her to work only as she wishes. Please get help. Good luck.
