An order for ongoing maintenance payments that are backed by security (such as a charge over property or a sum of money held by the court), so the receiving party can be paid from that security if the paying party defaults. This is different from ordinary periodical payments, which rely on the payer complying.
In Plain English
Maintenance payments that are backed up by an asset, like a house or a pot of money. If the payer stops paying, the money can be taken directly from that asset so the receiver is not left empty-handed.
