What happens if the payor moves out of the country?

If the payor of alimony in Hawaii moves out of the country, the state of Hawaii may not be able to enforce alimony payments. This is because the state has no way to compel payment if the payor is no longer located in the state. In such cases, the payor may be able to obtain a court order to continue payments from abroad, however, this is not always possible. Additionally, if the payor is unable to pay, the court may modify the order to reflect the payor’s current income and resources. In addition, a payor may be required to provide security or a bond for an alimony payment if they move out of the country. This security or bond would act as a guarantee to the court that the payor’s obligation to pay alimony would still be valid if they relocate overseas. Finally, if the receiving partner moves out of the country with the intention of avoiding alimony payments, the court may enforce the alimony award through measures such as wage garnishment or other methods of collecting debt. In general, it is important to remember that alimony laws vary from state to state and a lawyer should be consulted with any questions about alimony or other family law matters.
