A New State Pension itself is generally not divided in the same way as a workplace or personal pension, and your ex’s National Insurance record normally cannot increase your entitlement if the divorce was finalised on or after 6 April 2016. However, a court may be able to make a pension-sharing order covering certain Additional State Pension rights and, in some cases, a protected payment, depending on the circumstances and timing. Private and workplace pensions follow separate rules. Check your State Pension forecast and speak to a solicitor regulated by the SRA for advice about your case.
