If the retirement plans have not been joined to the divorce case, you may have a problem. Your best bet is to meet with a family law attorney in your community to see how much of a problem you may have.

Contact the Plan Administrator for the retirement plan, also you may have the trial judge sign a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) and submit it to the Plan Administrator. If he has closed or depleted the Plan then your remedy is to file for contempt.

Speak with your divorce and ask if a QDRO was done during the divorce.
