FDRA - coming to an agreement

Hello there

Last thursday I attended the FDRA for my divorce which has been going on for the last 17 months. My stbx is a serving soldier in the Army who I gave up my army career for to have a family and bring up our children. I have been very lucky and child maintanence,a spousal maintanence order and a pension sharing order was awarded by the court.

I am worried if my stbx were to emigrate with his new partner would he stop paying my maintanence or would he have to declare what the court had ordered.

He would still be liable to pay maintenance and there are international conventions so maintenance orders can be enforced in many countries. The problem is if he is likely to emigrate to a country where maintenance payments can't be enforced and he is unlikely to pay. In these circumstances a court might be persuaded to place a lien on any assets he holds in the UK as security.

Thankyou for that

so if for example he were to go to Austrailia and transfer to their army would he not have to inform the immigration authorities regarding the court order?
