I am currently working FT temp job. If I am going to be out of work (about a week or two)due to surgery how or can I get support from husband for time I am out of work (I do not get paid leave).
If you have an alimony order or alimony terms in a separation agreement, then those terms would continue through the period that you are out of work unless alimony terminates according to the terms in the order or separation agreement.
You can file a court action for postseparation support/alimony if you have not already and if you are the dependent spouse and your husband is the supporting spouse. However, there is no claim for temporary alimony because of medial leave from work.

So husbands atty couldn’t do October court date so now trying for November. What happens if I have the surgery before November court date or for some reason again either husbands atty or my husband can’t do November court date? What are my options? I am also asking for alimony because he is the supporting spouse.y
You would have to appear in court on the next court date and object to any continuance requested by your husband’s attorney. Postseparation support or alimony won’t start unless there is a court order in place or your husband voluntarily pays you.
You can try to speed up the process by making offers rather than waiting for the court date to come around.
