Hopefully, someone will be able to guide me here.
My former spouse and I signed a sep agreement w/ consent order in NC in 1987. There was an attempted reconciliation and in short, we entered into another sep agreement while I was stationed in Italy in 1989.
My former spouse has registered the “old” agreement in 2 states as a foreign judgement (one overturned since)and is currently having my military retired pay garnished using same. The new agreement modified (reduced) the amount of money she was to receive but she has chosen to ignore this document and pretend it does not exist.

At this point, neither of us are NC residents. Can I have the “new” sep agreement attached to the original agreement as a modification or what options do I have to attempt to get this situation corrected.
