Is military retirement portion for an ex spouse, taxable income

I am the ex spouse. Our divorce decree commands a portion of my ex wife's retirement be allotted to me. She has paid me by personal check for the past 20 years and I was told by a bankruptcy account after furnishing her with the military retirement income amount and a copy of the divorce decree, that this income was non taxable income. Our divorce was finalized in 2005 if this information is necessary. Can you confirm that this income is or is not taxable income?
