The answer to that question is both. Most states have held that retirement funds and pensions earned DURING the course of a marriage are equitable assets subject to distribution by the courts. Those pension benefits that accrue after the divorce is finalized are not available to the ex-spouse but rather would be those of the new wife. The main factor is looking what what was (and was not) earned during the course of the marriage.
Addendum:As relates to military pensions, this is somewhat complicated, as the pension is based on the highest rank attained, not as much time served or investment in a fund.Some courts have divided the pension between an ex and current wife by 50/50. Still others have divided it by the number of years each wife was married to the deceased. Still other courts have determined that the only spouse entitled to a military pension is the current spouse. It really depends on the state and the judge who decides.
Both may receive benefits. A former spouse may be entitled if that issue was addressed in the divorce. Generally, retirement benefits accumulated during a marriage can be divided and must be addressed at the time of the divorce. A private pension plan administrator can be served with an order that directs the division.
A former spouse who has not worked or who has low earnings can also be entitled to as much as one-half of the retired worker's full Social Security benefit. You read more about Social Security at the related question link.
Technically it's military "retirement pay," not a pension. Check this out for an example of the complexities (albeit in New York): http://www.divorcenet.com/states/new_york/military_divorce_and_pensions

The situation you described would not give her any legal rights in the property.
I would give your husbands ex wife her new contact number.. If the account is in his name and she has the account now then your husband needs to update the account through the company.
If a wife is court ordered to pay child support it also becomes the husbands responsibility. Unless there is a notice in place prior to the union.
Its legal to take the issue back to court and with the ex-wife's agreement, change the way she is to receive her due. Anything he does outside of a new court decision probably won't count and she may still end up with some of his pension. Good luck getter to give it up unless she can be convinced that the new deal will be more beneficial to her.

I somehow doubt you'd be telling her for her best interest.
The only way a wife can pay alimony is if she is rich, like those millionaire, or politics, but normally she don't.
