Army pension on re-marriage help

My ex-wife left me 2 years ago and we've been divorced for a year. I represented myself during the divorce and basically signed the paperwork that I was sent. (i am respondant). No finances were dealt with during the divorce as we had no assets as such. I was left to pay over £30000 of debts and child maintenance which has left me with little money to live off.
I am currently in the Army with 4 years left to complete 22 year service. I was married for 10 years at the point of separation. My ex-wife is due to get married to another soldier who has exactly the same pension as me and time to serve.
I live with a new partner and her son and see my son on school holidays and once a month due to the distance away from me.
Can my ex-wife still claim my army pension when she is married again to another soldier and enjoying the full benefits of his pension aswell?
I doubt she would accept a clean break agreement and I don't have the funds to afford a solicitor to help. Am I always going to live with the threat of her taking even more money from me than she already has?
