Should I pay child support if my ex moves abroad with my child?
===============================================================

If you are currently making child support payments, this obligation will continue even after your ex moves abroad with your children. Child support will continue to be enforceable in the courts of England and Wales and in over 100 countries with reciprocal arrangements.

If you suspect that your ex's income will increase significantly or cost of living will fall as a result of their move abroad, it may be possible to vary the payments. Alternatively, if you have suffered a dramatic fall in income you may be able to seek a new order. Either way, the court will look unfavourably on any decision to unilaterally stop paying.

If you are concerned about the impact of a move abroad on child maintenance, Vardags' [specialist advice](https://vardags.com/contact) will help you to review your obligations.
