enforcement of consent order

Haven''t been on this site for a while - I thought everything was sorted, but now my ex decided to stop paying maintenance according to the Consent Order. He has recently moved and won''t tell me his new address.

Question: I have to send him an "official letter" asking him to pay according to the consent order by registered mail. Since I don''t know his address can I send it to his parents or to his work address? Or do I have to pay for a PI again to find out the address

As long as he gets it and you can prove that he has received it, there should be no problem.

But if you send notices to his parents'' address or to his place of work, he will say he did not receive it and it may be difficult for you to prove otherwise.

So you are probably talking about using someone to serve him at his workplace. Could your solicitors not arrange this ?

Thanks Mike. I don''t have a solicitor at the moment (trying to save some money). The last time I had to employ a PI, it costed a fortune, but fortunately my ex was ordered to pay for the costs.
