Interim maintenance
52 Interim maintenance
If, on an application by a domestic partner or a caring partner under section 41 for an order for maintenance—
it appears to a court that the applicant is in immediate need of financial assistance; and
it is not practicable in the circumstances to determine immediately if any order should be made under section 51—
the court may order the payment by the other partner, pending the determination of the application, of any periodic sum or other sums the court considers reasonable.
Note
See section 59 for the effect of a relationship agreement on the court's power to make an order under this section.
