INTERIM MAINTENANCE PETITION

Interim maintenance orders are essential legal mechanisms designed to provide immediate financial support to a spouse or children during the pendency of divorce or separation proceedings. They ensure that the financially weaker party is not left destitute or unable to meet basic needs while waiting for the final settlement. Such orders help to maintain the status quo and prevent undue hardship, allowing for the care and welfare of children and the dependent spouse.

By offering a temporary financial safety net, interim maintenance orders also facilitate a fairer negotiation process by reducing the economic pressure on the less financially stable party. Moreover, they embody the legal principle that both parties bear responsibility for each other's welfare, even through the process of legal separation.
