A divorce or separate maintenance decree constitutes deprivation of parental support by continued absence of the parent from the home if one of the parents leaves the marital home and the criteria of § 67:12:01:29 are met. If financial need exists while awaiting a divorce or separate maintenance decree, approval of the application may not be held up pending the completion of the court actions.
