Ex lives in VA, I live in GA, dependent is now of age and support not due. Spouse is unwilling to allow agreement on reduction of Life Ins even though the premiums have trippled and my salary has gone up. What state do I have to get the decree domesticated to adjust insurance and alimony when I retire in 3 months. With her retirement settlement and the alimony she will get 67% of retirement and life Ins will be 7%.
