More details to this question:
I received a summons this morning. My ex-wife is suing me after 9 years (divorced in 2007) for not mentioning community asset (my retirement pension) in the divorce decree. She is actually the one that filled in all the divorce papers. What should I do ?

Maybe. You will need to seek competent counsel.

Nothing you can do. The sooner you agree to giving her what was legally hers, the better. Unless you can prove that you two discussed the pension and actually agreed that she would not get her share, perhaps because she got something else instead, then she can take advantage of a change in Nevada law that allows a person to go back to court and ask for a "forgotten" asset to be properly divided. She won't get any of your pension that accrued after the divorce, but she will get 1/2 of whatever accrued during the marriage.
