I am divorced and a maintenance order is in place. However since the divorce I moved overseas but have continued to meet my obligations. I have recently been made redundant but have been receiving unemployment benefits, however these are well below what my income was at the time of the divorce. I need to make an application for a variation of the maintenance order but dont know how to go about this while living overseas as if I was still living in South Africa I could approach the magistrates court. I have tried to come to an arrangement with the ex wife but she does not want to understand even though her financial position has improved since the divorce i.e. increased salary, company car e.t.a.
You have to either personally or via a lawyer apply at the local Maintenance Court.
