You can either file a motion to enforce the order or a motion to modify the order. If the order included a specific date in which she was required to take care of the lease, then you would file the motion to enforce. If the order did not contain a specific time frame for the completion of the lease change, then you may want to modify or amend the order to have a "due date" so to speak.
