Hi Kate, thanks for reaching out.

Generally speaking, a retirement fund that was accruing during the marriage, (like a pension or 401k), is considered community property and would have been factored in when dividing assets and debts during the divorce. Since the person receiving alimony would already have a piece of the payer’s retirement fund/s, it’s unlikely that payee would be able to “double-dip” and receive both at the same time unless it was agreed upon or stipulated by the court in the final divorce decree.
