Default Divorce - Legal/experience type question

No it's not me, We've just been round to my sister in laws house and she has told us that my mother in law is now going to try and claim some of her ex husbands pension.

They have been divorced since '03, it was done as irreconcilable (sp?) differences (an internet jobbie) although at the time she was having an affair (and is still with him) my father in law has since got remarried.
This has all come about as her chap (who she was having the affair with) is due to get divorced and will loose half of what he has. The problem is, this has put both their daughters in a difficult position as the animosity, if she goes ahead with this, will no doubt affect family gatherings etc.....

The question (see there is one eventually) is this: If she goes forward with claiming part of the pension, would he be able to 're-open' the reason why they were divorced? in doing so I assume my wife and her sister may be asked certain questions that may bring to light their mother was having an affair pre and at the time of the divorce, would this effect her ability to claim some of her ex's pension?

Aplologies for being so long winded, but as my wife is planning to 'discuss' the matter further forewarned is forearmed.
