Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

my ex and i divorced after 13 years of marriage in 2013. Our divorce "ONLY" states that we are divorced and we have joint custody of the children and he is the domicile parent. It's one page..nothing else was agreed upon. He was killed in a motorcycle accident on 10.21.2015. I have been told that he put our children down as beneficiaries on his 401k. Am i entitled to any of his 401k?

Your husband could only dispose of one-half of the IRA. You own the other half as community property.
