Pendente lite refers to an order which is in effect awaiting the litigation (lawsuit). It is often used in divorce law to refer to court orders such as temporary child support, visitation, or alimony which are in effect until the case is tried, or rights which cannot be enforced until the lawsuit is over. Pendente lite matters are contingent on the outcome of the underlying litigation. Sometimes a party is required to deposit funds with the court pending the outcome of the lawsuit. If the depositing party loses the lawsuit, the funds are paid to the opposing party.
