Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Retirement

My parents divorced in 1979 and my mother was awarded 1/3 of my fathers military retirement. We are not on speaking terms with my father who is now a very wealthy man. He purposely may not draw his retirement out of spite. What can my mother do to receive her portion. She is 58 and he is 59.
