am i entitled to a part of ex husband retirement

Yes, you would be entitled to a portion of your husband's retirement benefits, but the time to ask for that is at the time of the divorce, not seven years later.  Once the divorce is final all issues of property and support are closed, unless you explicitly reserved the right to request support later in the final order for divorce.  Even in cases where you received no notice of the divorce, such as when notice was provided by publication in the newspaper, or in cases of fraud on the court, you generally have only two years in which to bring any issues back before the court.   That said, you should still receive a portion of his social security upon his retirement.  This is true of any marriage in excess of ten years and does not need to be specified in the divorce order.  You can contact the social security administration directly if you have any questions about that or how to claim it. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
