Here are some of the most frequent court orders during divorce proceedings:
- Property Order – this can include the sale of a property, a transfer of a property from one party to another, a settlement of property for the use and benefit of one party until a specified event or future date, a deferred charge to be realised on a specified event or future date.
- Periodical Payments Order – Payment made out of income by you to your spouse or vice versa to provide for the other and is frequently called spousal maintenance.
- Secured Provision Order – You or your spouse makes personal payments to the other for maintenance. It will only be made if the payer has enough capital or assets to cover the payment should the payer be unable to pay.
- Nominal Maintenance Order – A nominal maintenance order is a maintenance order of a nominal amount such as £5 per year.
