She should be entitled to half of whatever was in there for the duration of the marriage, but only if it is stated in the divorce decree, if nothings in there you are out of luck.

In the U.S., if you were married at least 10 years, you are entitled to draw on his Social Security when you are of the correct age. It does not do anything to his collection of SS. He will still get the same amount. Retirement benefits such as a pension should have been resolved at the time of the divorce. If they have not been, then the exwife is not entitled to any part of it.

It would depend on how long the two were married and what the courts say. In most states if you have been married for 10 years or more she is entitled to at least 1/2 of your pension. Check with your divorce lawyer.

it will depend on the divorce decree, but under equatable distribution half of the pensioned earned during the marriage would be the wife's, now at divorce the wife might have received other monies in exchange for release of the pension

One of the important things to do when getting divorced is to ensure the small print (in this case pension) is carefully worded,i ensure with my divorces that it is worded correctly so that the "ex" under no circumstances can have a slice of the cake that I have been making all my working life.

If he remarries you do not have right to his pension, life insurance, 401k, health insurance, bank...anything that deals with money..
In fact, even if he didnt remarry...he could get a legal document forbidding the ex-wife from getting anything in case of death..

Depending on what was written up in the divorce papers. If he was receiving his pension already and your divorce decree states you're entitled to 25% of it. Then you're entitled to 25% of it still. If nothing was mentioned then you have no rights to his pension.

You have absolutely no right to his pension at all! You are no longer his wife, he has a new wife now, so you will have to get a job and earn your own money!!

Stop being such a money grubber. Get a job and earn your own pay and pension. WORK, like the rest of us.

depends on the state & how long you were married. see, my parents divorced, but were married for 20 yrs. ; if my father remarries - she is still entitled to benefits and a highter SSI amt.- if my MOM remarries - than she doesn't get anything.
