More details to this question:
To whom it may concern. I was divorced 2 years ago in Singapore. My ex-wife is Australian. She and my kids moved to Australia at the beginning of this year. I am still living in Singapore but I am in the process of obtaining a Skilled Migrant Visa and I am looking to move to Australia to be closer to my kids. I currently earn 11000 a month and pay 3000 dollars a month in maintenance but once I arrive in Australia I know as a Teacher I will earn significantly lower. In my divorce settlement I am to pay 3000 a month. This is not a percentage this is the figure stated in the divorce papers. I am pretty sure I will not be able to afford this payment once I arrive in Australia. Can you help me know what my options might be with regards finding ways to reduce the maintenance payments ? Many thanks

Dear User,
It is unclear for me as to where you filed and finalized your divorce case. If you file in Singapore than, you should prepare to file a modification based on your income. Since I am practicing in California, I cannot give you advice in the foreign forums. Thank you very much.
