No, you can not. The pension is a marital asset that sccrued during the marriage and subject to equitable distribution in divorce. It is not like alimony. She was likely awarded only that portion that accrued from the date of marriage to the date of the filing of the divorce (or what ever the legal cut off is in your state).
