ex wants rewrite for clarifying order

[2BBFORD]

In our divorce agreement in 2003 I gave my Ex 30% of my retirement pay with
"no consideration for disability until I am classified as 80% disabled" now I am being told (government agency)that they need a clarifying order with a fixed amount or a percentage for my retirement to be paid to her (I thought it already was). Her attorney has rewritten it so that she will receive 30% no matter what my disability is. Under our original agreement it was understood that if I ever received a rating of 80% disabled she would not receive any money (see quote above, or is this open to interpretation), where do I go from here? she is trying to set up the garnishment now even though I have 1-2 more years before I am retired. I have no problem giving her the money (it was worth it) and she will already receive additional money because I am well over 20 years of service. If this goes to court will it be a simple matter, will it cost allot, do I need to address this now or can it wait?. is the original wording that confusing? Thank You

Don't change the agreement.

She's done, leave it that way.

She won't get anything the way the original agreement is written.

Let her bring a case against her attorney for malpractice.

You have no legal duty or obligation to honor ANYTHING but what you BOTH originally signed.

Speak to lawyer, it would be wise and prudent, but in the end, DO NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING ELSE!

I'd just wait until she takes you to court, which she probably won't, when she learns how useless it will be.

You have her over a barrel.

The way the agreement is worded, she won't get a dime, if you're classified as 100% disabled.

The government has probably told her that.

Why don't you ask them, just to be sure.

Then you'll know why this sudden buzz and insistence for you to do as she says!

Don't let her or her lawyer bully you, just say no.

I'd rather pay a lawyer, than someone like her, wouldn't you?

I'd only sign something NEW, if she asked for a lesser amount, like 20-25%!!!!!!

That is the way it is, Brother Harris.
Don't give the old cow anything, pay it to a lawyer who will fight for your rights!

Thanks for the reply it is the government that is asking for clarification (dfas) I have the letter they sent to her, I also called them and verified (the woman was not to helpful and defiantly not very friendly in my opinion). is the wording "no consideration for disability until I am classified as 80% disabled" confusing? could it be interpreted as only my disability (if I receive any). Thanks again

I wouldn't change anything.

She's stuck with what she has.

They won't pay her, but that's not your fault.

You agreed to the current understanding and I'd stand by that agreement.

No court can order you to change it.

It's her problem, not yours.

You don't have to do anything.

The Feds only do what the contract says.

Make her spend her money to get a court order to try and make them pay her!!!

Don't do anything more, because you don't have to do anything else.
