What does the divorce decree say? I've seen it written both ways - pension if remarried, no pension if remarried.

Yes, you have to go back and check your divorce paperwork but having such a clause in there would be unusual in my opinion. A marital interest in a pension is a property right just like anything else and you should be entitled to it whether you remarry or not.
