From what I have heard if you don't have it in your divorce decree you don't get a cent. Course you could argue it in court to reopen your divorce case if you wanted to fight it, but I know you can't get it without being in the divorce decree. There was a case in Alabama where it was not in the decree and the wife didn't get anything. I would get a military divorce lawyer and get a consult that would cost about 200.00. Mark Sullivan in NC wrote the book Military Divorce I would get a copy of that and maybe consult with. He is in NC.
