The rights of an Ex

[jhawk555]

What is the name of your state? Washington State

My parents have been divorced for many years. My father is remarried and living in California. My mother lives in Montana. Is my mother entitled to receive a portion of my father's social security when he retires? If this is stated in their divorce decree, how does it apply when my father decides to retire?
