I don't know if the attorney had the plan approved by the court or not. If there is anything in the file you can get a copy from the court.

Is there any loop holes to receive some of my ex's retirement if we were married less than 10 years?

It is possible you are conflating two different issues. Your rights to survivors' benefits under social security vest after ten years (although this number needs to be re-checked). However, your right to one half of the increase in your spouse's employer-sponsored pension plan or IRA or similar instrument does not depend on the ten years. There is a presumption that you are entitled to one-half of the increase in value from the date of the marriage. The presumption can be overcome, or it can be modified, by about eleven other 'equitable considerations. If there is any significant sum of money involved, you would do well to consult an experienced family lawyer. Good Luck.

Have you filed for divorce yet? What was the source of the funds held in that account? Why did the bank permit him access if he is not an authorized user on the account? The answers to these questions will help guide my answer.  Thank you.
