Ex owes me arrears dating back to 2012. He's not in the UK so I needed to get a court order and enforce it in the country which he lives in. He is paying monthly, has been since after the court hearing, but has evaded the arrears and has fobbed me off/stonewalled me. I've had to apply for the order to be enforced. After a year I finally heard from the court, and he's told them that he lost his job in August but has continued to pay maintenance, and plans on clearing the arrears once the order ends. Problem is, the order ends on ds's 17th birthday and I need to get the order extended because ds will still be in school. He hasn't submitted any accounts/bank statements and he's not pleading poverty (his father died in November and he was left ? of a house as well as cash, he also has 2 houses in the country where he lives and would have received redundancy pay, I think). I don't know his financial situation other than this, but I have debts that I'm still paying off from when he decided that I wasn't grateful for his maintenance and stopped paying, and the arrears would clear most of these and I'm pretty pissed at the thought of having to wait another 12 months for something that should have been paid just under 2 years ago. Ds is also disabled and is in need of speech and language therapy. The NHS here is dire and won't give him an appointment so his only chance is a private SALT, which the arrears would pay for.
Any ideas for a way forward would be really useful, please. Many thanks
