Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

If I have a Consent Judgment for permanent spousal support from Louisiana, and I want to try to get more than a third of my former spouse's net income which in Louisiana is the limit, by docketing the Judgment in the other state, can I try to get more and be successful? What is the general attitude that the new court has towards taking these type of Judgments and Community Partition Judgments and trying to docket it in another state if the former spouse has moved away from LA, and trying to get more in income or property by doing so?
