MATRIMONIAL CAUSES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1978 - SECT 30



30.(1) The term to be specified in a periodical payments or secured periodical
payments order in favour of a party to a marriage shall be such term as the
court thinks fit, subject to the following limits, that is to say

(a)in the case of a periodical payments order, the term shall begin not
earlier than the date of the making of an application for the order, and shall
be so defined as not to extend beyond the death of either of the parties to
the marriage or, where the order is made on or after the grant of a decree of
divorce or nullity of marriage, the remarriage of the party in whose favour
the order is made; and

(b)in the case of a secured periodical payments order, the term shall begin
not earlier than the date of the making of an application for the order, and
shall be so defined as not to extend beyond the death or, where the order is
made on or after the grant of such a decree, the remarriage of the party in
whose favour the order is made.

(2) Where a periodical payments or secured payments order in favour of a party
to a marriage is made otherwise than on or after the grant of a decree of
divorce or nullity of marriage, and the marriage in question is subsequently
dissolved or annulled but the order continues in force, the order shall,
notwithstanding anything in it, cease to have effect on the remarriage of that
party, except in relation to any arrears due under it on the date of the
remarriage.

(3) If after the grant of a decree dissolving or annulling a marriage either
party to that marriage remarries, that party shall not be entitled to apply,
by reference to the grant of that decree, for a financial provision order in
his or her favour, or for a property adjustment order, against the other party
to that marriage.
