Spousal Support in WV

I am in a divorce case after 8 years of marriage. My wife began cheating on me and left me for another guy that is basically a loser and can't provide the same lifestyle I do. My house was signed over to my by my Mother during our marriage, therefore, my lawyer is trying to claim it to be a gift since the deed transfer was paid for by my Mother and put solely in my name. My current debts exceed any assets I have and my wife has no assets. She left both vehicles with me. Both of which have loans on them which I have been making the payments on anyways. I took the one vehicle and the boat that was left as well and traded them for a new truck, which is of course an upside down loan. The other vehicle I sold back to the dealership, I originally offered to sell this vehicle to my wife for it's payoff, but she told me to sell it. In our preliminary hearing, my wife's lawyer asked for $700/month spousal support, I make a gross of 2900, and my wife grosses 1000. She is 31 and I am 39. My lawyer raised the trial issue on adultery, which is to be scheduled later, but the judge awarded my wife $300/mo temporary spousal support pursuant to medical insurance coverage, since she does not have a vehicle to drive. I am highly upset about the spousal support, since she left me for another guy that claimed that he would take care of all her bills, and now she is going to get money from me to help them live together unless we can win the adultery case, which is difficult, since most of the evidence is circumstancial and I know it happened and continues. I know that by law she is entitled to paying off half of the debts owed at the time of seperation and hope that this might persuade her to give up spousal support. What is most disheartening is that when she left, she did not want any money from me or any of my property. She always said she would take care of debts in her name and I was to take care of the debts in my name. Any advice how to curb this spousal support issue would be appreciated.

Welcome to our family courts.

Do yourself a favor now, and disabuse yourself of any notion that our family court system has any interest in moral fairness. The two guiding princples of our family courts are:
A) Adherence to statutes and procedures.
B) Laziness
...and not necessarily in that order.
It is probably not worth your effort to fight any temporary orders. Focus your time and energy (and funds) on resolving the divorce as quickly as possible, and as equitably as possible.
The court is not going to care that she cheated on you. She (and her attorney) will just claim that you were a terrible husband with no affection who drove her away from you.
You may be able to use the threat of proving adultery to get her to agree to better final terms in the divorce.
