Hi,

I've been in a TD for 1 year.

I got married last week to a foreign national. I intend to move abroad to live with her (to USA). At the moment we will remain apart in our own countries as we go through the Visa process. In 6-12 months from now I'll leave the UK to go and live in USA. When I get there I'll have about 1 year to go on my TD. I fully intend to maintain the TD and payments into it ÔÇô I won't have as much surplus income after the move but I should be able to stick to my normal payment.

Apart from getting married, my circumstances are essentially the same ÔÇô eg, still living on my own on only my income, same rent and expenses, etc. My wife has her own house in USA and supports herself over there. We are financially separate from each other. We met and got married after I was already in a TD.

So now I'm in a position to inform my Trustee that

a) I'm married
b) I'm moving abroad at some point in the future (during my TD term)

Taking into account my circumstances mentioned above, what effect is this likely to have? She has kids and an ex-husband who co-owns a house he and the kids live in. I'm asking- will it remain simple and I remain financially separate? Or will it get complex and my wifes affairs be dragged into it all?

Also, aside from being married, is there any effect I need to consider regarding moving abroad? I know it's allowed, but is there anything I should know?

Cheers, Bob.
