What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Mexico

A friend of mine married a woman, against everyone's advice, and found out within four months what she was really like. Anyway, she will not agree to a divorce so he is serving her with papers. My friend has worked at the same place for 12 years where he has a retirement fund. He did not name her as a beneficiary but now that they divorce, can she claim 1/2 even though the marriage only lasted a few months? Can she get any portion of it?
