The leading order effect of the spin of a distant supermassive black hole on the orbit of a compact binary revolving around it appears at the 1.5 post Newtonian expansion through coupling with the inner and outer orbital angular momenta and makes an oscillating characteristic contribution to the secular evolution of the compact binary eccentricity over a long timescale compared to the Kozai-Lidov dynamics caused by a nonspinning supermassive black hole.
