Re: pension benefits
The short answer is that it depends. Retirement plans are often meant to support married couples so when the married couples divorce, they both want a share of the money they were planning to retire on. If your ex has his own retirement plan you might be in a position to just agree to leave each other's 401K money alone, but divorce courts have a way of including everything when they divide assets.
