To me, my family is myself and my s7 at this point. I don't know how much support should go to her under that "family's financial needs" category. Should I still provide money for things such as groceries, toiletries, etc.? Maybe not even money. Maybe the actual products. Guess those are things I will find out soon.
It depends on your state's laws, your county's family court precedents, and what "lifestyle to which she is accustomed" would apply to your wife.
A few days won't kill you. When in doubt, err on the side of PAYING it. Do start with the cellphone tho -- that's a no-brainer, as she is using it DIRECTLY to conduct her affair. The only exception I would make to that is if you are able to get detailed billing on it, unbeknownst to you, in which case it becomes a treasure trove of good intel.
