What is a periodical payments order?
A Periodical Payments Order (also known as spousal maintenance), are regular payments made by one party to a former spouse or civil partner for a specified period of time.
The main purpose of a periodical payments order is to provide ongoing financial support to a financially dependent and weaker party after divorce or dissolution. Payments are usually made on a weekly or monthly basis and are for a specific period of time.
Payments automatically end upon the recipient’s remarriage, or upon either party’s death.
