What is the effect of providing periodic maintenance pay-ments over a period of time?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Thind v. Thind, 1987 CanLII 2973 (BC SC):

I am of the opinion that providing periodic maintenance pay­ments over a period of time, as was done in Belcher v. Belcher, would not be appropriate in this case as the prospects of the respon­dent living up to and complying with such an order would be very remote.
