Because this was a failure of the original VA and many courts had been using benefits, Congress had to be careful in transitioning the repeal of the laws and precedents. The primary precedent was actually the second part of holding a veteran in contempt for failure to pay. This precedent was overturned after 10 years in 1997 PL 104-193. The veteran had argued the limitations of garnishments to the VA prior to a receipt by the veteran under 42 U.S.C. 659 also applied to the provisions of sending garnishments to a veteran after receipt under 42 U.S.C. 662. The Court ruled they were separate and the limitations under 659 only applied to the VA. Congress repealed 662 removing provisions to send garnishments to a veteran. 659 is still law and this means garnishment can still be sent to the VA. However the limitations still exist.

You need to check with the attorney(s) to see if your case was ever brought before a judge. A divorce can be granted (in most states) without both (or either) parties present as long as your attorney is present. But a divorce has to be granted by a judge, and then the decree signed by the judge.
