Ex abroad no longer pays maintenance... Should I involve REMO now money is so tight at home?

[wabbit]

I guess I'm just feeling my way on this - I was so happy when I heard that my EX ds's father had emigrated to NZ and got married about 2.5 years ago.

I just thought that he'd be far enough away not to bother us And it explained the reason why the £500 pcm that the CSA were making him provide for us stopped

Since this though my current partner of 3.3 years has become a Student and is taking his Masters in Product Design after years and years of working in Brake development for a British car company which almost killed him due to the tedium. He's not been in engineering for nearly 3 years now.

My 20k per year does not cover our costs, I'm studying as well as working and we've reached a financial crisis.

To the point that in order for us to survive my mind keeps returning to the maintenance that exP has not paid and will not without my instigating a court order.

Part of me thinks we're well rid of a man unable to tell the truth, eager to run away from his mistakes and manipulative... ds does not need his values and is adored by my partner who in all but name and genetics is his daddy.

Would making him pay - and being a policeman I don't think he'd be able to get away with not paying - make him want 'a piece' of our lovely boy? How could I stay in control of his access to ds if it came to that?

I don't like having to even think about it but the shit's really hitting the fan financially here.

you've got a cocklodger living with you, OP.

That was 6 years ago

According to article 16 regulation 4/2009 Polish order shall be recognition in another Member State without any special procedure being required and without any possibility of opposing its recognition. I can not understand why REMO sends Polish decision to English court to make new maintenance order. Why Polish decision is not enforcement automatically without additional procedure.

I am not sure if you understand what I mean that`s why I am going to use the example in chronological order.

1. A Polish mother received the polish maintenance order with the amount of maintenance 1000 zł (212 pounds) but the father of child moved to England.

1. The Polish mother claimed to polish court to send application to REMO

1. REMO confirmed receipt of the application (annex VIII).

1. Two months later REMO sent enclosed Transferred order of HM & Tribunal Service with amount of 212 punds

1. After 6 months later REMO sent enclosed document of HM & Tribunal Service that father has to pay 100 punds per month and the the hearing has been adjourned for you to attend West London Family Court in 6 months for a review necessary in view of very low order made today.

My question is like this – why the English Family Court creates new maintenance order with another amount of maintenance than there is indicated in Polish decision. In my opinion Polish decision should be enforcement automatically without changes.
