Are You Entitled to Your Ex-Spouse's Retirement Money Immediately After a Divorce?

Either way, there are a couple of things that I would suggest you do as soon as possible.

First, I would contact his employer's human resources department or the administrator of his/her retirement plan. Give them a copy of the divorce decree and find out if there is any other documentation that you need to provide for them.

Second, you'll want to talk to your divorce attorney to make sure that everything in your divorce decree to make sure that it is certified and to make sure that you have a clear understanding of everything you are entitled to and time frames in which you can expect to receive them.
