Answer

Yes, it is possible to request temporary support orders for child support and maintenance. This request is done when the divorce petition has been filed or if you respond to the divorce petition you make the request. It not provided for in the divorce papers you can file a separate application for the temporary supports. But you cannot ask for it while there has not been any court papers filed. This would be to request both child support and spousal support.

Now, because he left the family, it may be possible that you can get child support through the state child support enforcement agency, this would require that you contact them to see if they can help you, given that he just left, this may not make it enough to consider it abandonment, but it does not hurt to try. You can contact the OK child support agency here.
