That depends upon whether your dissolution judgment mentions the retirement plan and whether there are any residual benefits for survivors. If the judgment either gives you a portion of the plan or does not mention the plan you may have a claim. You need to have your judgment reviewed by a family law attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
