Half of the difference between pension plans is distributed to the spouse with the smaller pension plan.

There is no set way any of this works because 98% of case end in settlement. Its a real pain to mess around with pension plans so in a case like this, I would figure out some other way to balance out the difference here. That is the best way to handle it in my opinion.
You really should have an attorney for this case or at least consult with one before doing anything.
