IT IS ORDERED that WALTER DOFF TARPLEY pay to BABS ELANE TARPLEY as temporary support the sum of $1,100.00 per month, with the first payment being due and payable on the 15th day of March, 1981, and a like payment being due and payable on the 15th day of each month thereafter until further order of this Court.
