She is entitled to her community share regardless if she remarries or not. It should have been allocated in the divorce.

Remarriage only affects spousal support (and in a very limited way child support). Whatever your divorce settlment agreement/judgment says still governs the retirement. If it was not addressed in the judgment, you will need to reopen the case on the grounds of omitted assets and have a determination made on her entitlement.
