Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

alimony payment

If I move to another country, am I still responsible for alimony payment in VA. Also, I know that my military pay can be garnished for child support but if I pay that voluntarily will the state garnish my military pay for alimony. What are the consequences of not paying alimony in VA?

And, yes, your military pay may be garnished for unpaid alimony.
