More details to this question:
Divorce in 2006. My ex got half my thrift savings at that time. I just retired and find out he is getting part of my employee pension plan. He has his own employees plan and I was always under the impression this would constitute a wash, since both were valued the same at time of divorce. Did my lawyer screw this up? And do I have any legal recourse

You should take a look at your divorce agreement to see exactly what you both were entitled to and to see if you have any recourse. The agreement should list the retirement assets and who gets what. My recommendation would be to take your agreement to an experience divorce attorney for a consultation as to what your rights are and how to proceed.
