Temporary support is based upon a lot of factors, just as a permanent order of support does.  But it sounds like you will have a good shot given his financial circumstances.  Are you a stay at home Mom?  Is your salary significantly less?  Is there a lie style that you have become accustom to because of his salary?   How long have you been married?  Can you support yourself?  Get some legal advice in your area. Good luck.
