financial relief
Any or all of the following: maintenance pending suit orders, financial provision orders, property adjustment orders, and court orders for maintenance during the marriage and for the maintenance of children (see child support maintenance). The court has powers to set aside transactions made by a husband or wife with the intention of preventing a spouse from making a claim for financial relief, or to prevent such a transaction from taking place (see avoidance of disposition order). Financial relief provisions for children, other than in matrimonial proceedings, are consolidated in the Children Act 1989; for example, it is possible for unmarried parents and those in whose favour a residence order is made to obtain financial relief. In addition, children over the age of 18 in principle have an independent right to seek financial relief from their parents, but this will succeed only in relation to education or where there are special circumstances, such as disability; a claim will not be available where the applicant’s parents live together in the same household (FS v RS [2020] EWFC 63). |
