(b) an order requiring the payment by either parent to the Director of Social Welfare while he has the care of the minor of such periodical sum towards the maintenance of the minor as the court thinks reasonable having regard to the means of that parent. (Added, 65 of 1986, s. 6)

(3) On an application under section 10 the court may, in any case where it adjourns the hearing of the application for more than 7 days, make an interim order, to have effect until such date as may be specified in the order and containing--

(a) provision for payment by either parent to the other, or to any person given the custody of the minor, of such periodical payments towards the maintenance of the minor as the court thinks reasonable having regard to the means of the parent on whom the requirement is imposed; and (Amended, 65 of 1986, s. 6)

(b) where by reason of special circumstances the court thinks it proper, any provision regarding the custody of the minor or the right of access to the minor of either of his parents,

but an interim order under this subsection shall not be made to have effect after the end of the 3 months beginning with the date of the order or of any previous interim order made under this subsection with respect to the application, and shall cease to have effect on the making of a final order or on the dismissal of the application.

(4) The District Court may also make such an interim order where under section 23(b) it refuses to make an order on an application under section 10 on the ground that the matter is one that would more conveniently be dealt with by the High Court; but an interim order under this subsection shall not be made so as to have effect after the end of the 3 months beginning with the date of the order.

14. (1) An order made by the court under section 13(1)(a) (in this section referred to as a “supervision order”) shall cease to have effect when the minor attains the age of 16; and where a supervision order is made at a time when the parents of the minor are residing together-

(a) the order may direct that it is to cease to have effect if for a period of 3 months after it is made they continue to reside together; and

(b) the order (whether or not it includes a direction under paragraph (a)) may direct that it is not to operate while they are residing together.

(2) A supervision order may be varied, discharged, suspended or revived after being so suspended by a subsequent order made on the application of either parent or after the death of either parent, on the application of any guardian under this Ordinance or (before or after the death of either parent) on the application of any other
