So then for a father to only contribute 247.00 to care for his children is completely fine, I would never want to interfere with his standard of living. After all, how would he pay for that condo on the golf course or that 650.00/mos truck payment. It is a choice to have children, it should not be a choice as to whether or not you support them.

Cole, I'm warning you - as someone who has been there - that you are entering self-destruct mode and your divorce will get the better of you.
First of all, he is NOT only paying $247 to care for his kids. He is payin $247 + 500 = $750 a month to care for his kids.
Secondly, you're lucky to get that because you said that they based it off of his GROSS income, before all of his business expenses/deductions...so it could be a lot less.
Third, you are operating under TEMPORARY orders. So consider this your time to get your ducks in a row and make your case for not having to pay him alimony. I would start with arguing that his business is an indulgence that doesn't earn what he is capable of making. how much could he earn if he shut down his business and entered the job market? Ask that he be imputed on that figure instead of $36,000.
Lastly, you make $55,000 a year, right? Plus $247 x 12 = $2964. So your total income is $58,000 a year. He makes $36,000 less $2964, so his yearly income is $33,000. You have almost TWICE the income "on paper."
You say that he's lying about his true income. So that's where you start. You need to refocus and find that missing income!!
