Ex about to leave the army.

Hello all,
My ex-husband is about to leave the army as a Sgt after 22 years. I know he will receive a large cash sum and of course a pension but I have no idea what the amounts will be. He told me that I "only had hold of his wallet" when he was in the army - I had to get the money deducted at source and even then he forged paperwork. He has also said that he has no intention of ever working once he's out of the army.
Once he leaves what do I do? He doesn't own property so presumably he will be with his mother whilst he sorts himself out, so I could direct the CSA to contact him there, although she has had paperwork sent there when he pretended to have left the army and she said she had never heard of him (differing surnames)
How do you track someone down? Is his service pension counted as income for CSA purposes? Will the army help point the CSA in the right direction?
Many thanks for any advice

His pension income is used for assesment.
