What happened to Peter's wife and child? The wife he married before Shelley

I could be, and most probably am wrong lol. But did she move to Portugal or something? And told him not to see/contact her again?

As far as I can recall she moved to Australia or New ZealandAnd here are the details

Peter met florist Lucy Carmichael when he was buying a bouquet for Shelley. He was immediately intrigued and soon began an affair. They broke off for awhile but when Tracy was hired by Lucy who had no idea of the connection between Tracy and Peter, and Tracy told Peter that her employer was pregnant, he realized the baby was his. He talked his way back into her heart and married her although he was living with and engaged to Shelley at the same time. As you might expect, it all ended in tears and Peter probably has broken the Corrie record for shortest marriage on the books. Lucy chucked him out days after the wedding when she realized Shelley was still in his life.

Peter's son Simon was born in early July 2003 but at first Lucy didn't want Peter to be involved at all. She relented a little and allowed Peter to see Simon for brief periods. Peter was torn over wanting to be with his son and marrying Shelly. His soon to be mother in law, Bev, was suspicious of him and told Shelly. Peter admitted on the day before the wedding that he had had an affair but it was long over and he really wanted to marry Shelly. (But the divorce from Lucy wasn't complete yet!) Shelly agreed to marry Peter after all.

Shelley and Peter got married in a big, beautiful church wedding in July. Shelley found out that Peter had had an affair but since he insisted it was long over, she married him anyway, deciding to trust him. Of course it wasn't too long before Lucy and Shelley found out about each other and Shelley found out about Peter's baby with Lucy and by the end of the summer, Shelley had kicked Peter to the curb for good. Lucy and Shelley were determined to make Peter pay and they had a good hand in nearly ruining his business and reputation. On charges for bigamy, Peter left town for awhile but returned. He was let off with a fine and a warning. Lucy's final revenge was allowing Peter to think she wanted him back and wanted them all to move to Spain. Peter discovered that she was actually leaving and moving to Australia without him. He could do nothing to stop her and resigned himself to never knowing his son.
