My husband is in the army and after 12yrs of marraige we have split. He is now telling me that i am only entitled to 12yrs of his pension of which he is taking over half in a lump sum when he retires in 9yrs time. I will apparently only get half of the remaining pension. Is this true? Feel like im being stitched up money wise!!

Emma - hello and welcome
Terrible time isn't it - complete turmoil and then you're expected to become an accountant overnight.
If you share his army pension your share will cease to be his and will be transferred into your name - he can still take a pension and a lump sum from his remaining share - but he can't touch your share.
We are talking here about a court order that divides up the pension between you when you divorce. It can only be done by court order but people often share army pensions and you are entitled to.
The army pension booklet on pension sharing's available online

You'll have loads more questions - we all have -some even know the answers - we'll do our level best to help
