You need the divorce order to enter a temporary order awarding you temporary spousal maintenance (and a lump sum for you to retain an attorney) while the divorce is pending.

You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator about the forms you need to file to request temporary support.

Make a motion for temporary orders and ask for spousal support. This needs to include all the evidence of each party's income and expenses.

In Idaho you may be entitled to spousal maintenance, but usually only for the time necessary to get you back on your fee. However, if he used community funds to buy the houses, you may have a half interest. You really need to talk with an attorney about this.

You file a motion asking for temporary and permanent alimony and set it for hearing in front of the judge.
