Re: divorce proceeds
Equitable division would likely entitle you to a share of her pension, and she to a share of yours. Each party's needs and contributions are considered. There are no absolutes, but 50/50 division of assets is not unusual. "Pension" funds (e.g., 401k's) are usually treated as assets, though yours may be income depending on how you receive it.

Your description of the facts is incomplete. You have not said if you are divorced, and the terms of the divorce as related to this question.
It is possible that Gregory can read better between the line, but I could use more facts. Gregory is generally correct on the issues he answered.
