CRA looks at family income to calculate benefits. It doesn't matter if you aren't in Canada.

Have a look here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/cctb/clcltyrcctb-eng.html

Your marital status affects how your benefits are calculated. If your marital status changes, you need to tell us before the end of the month after the month your status changed. For example, if your marital status changed in August, tell us about the change by the end of September.

She will need to send in a statement of world income http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/5013-sa/README.html once this is sent in they will recalculate to the tax benefit.

Yes agree with statement or she can also just write a letter date and sign with husbands name and fax it. I've had to do it 2 years in a row and this would have been advised by CRA before they stop the payments.
