# §838.931. Court orders that provide temporary awards of former spouse survivor annuities.


A provision in a court order that temporarily awards a former spouse survivor annuity satisfies the requirements of [§ 838.804(b)(2)](/cfr/5/838.804.md?p=b-2), but the temporary award becomes permanent on the date on which OPM is barred from honoring a modification of the court order (the date of retirement or death, or, in the case of a post-retirement divorce, the date of the initial court order), as provided in sections [8341(h)(4)](/usc/5/8341.md?p=h-4) and [8445(d)](/usc/5/8445.md?p=d) of title 5, United States Code.
