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?

Re: alimony payment
Yes, moving to another country will not void or invalidate a Virginia order for alimony and enforceable arrearages will continue to accrue under the order.
And, yes, your military pay may be garnished for unpaid alimony.
