Section 7
Duration of maintenance orders
(1)
Except where a maintenance order is expressed to be for any shorter period or where a maintenance order has been rescinded, a maintenance order expires —
(a)
if the maintenance was unsecured — on the death of the applicant or the respondent, whichever is the earlier; or
(b)
if the maintenance was secured — on the death of the applicant.
(2)
Where a maintenance order was made against more than one respondent, the death of a respondent does not affect the liability of the others to continue paying maintenance to the applicant.
(3)
The applicant may apply to the Tribunal to re-apportion the liability among the surviving respondents on the death of a respondent.
