went though a divorce in oct 2004 ex wife was entitled to half of my retirement when i retire from two places i worked at previously

I'm not sure anyone can answer that question without carefully reviewing the actual divorce document. One way of reading your question is that you had retirement from previous employers but that now it's gone, which depending on how it "got gone" could be a problem. I don't know that she would have a direct claim to your new retirement, but if there was money she was supposed to be entitled to and it somehow vanished,Certainly any current assets or income source, like your new retirement, is going to be on her radar.I try to stay away from answers like "you need to speak with a lawyer," but you do.
