There are several issues in your question. Did you purchase this condo during the marriage. If so your wife has an interest in it. Was it purchased prior to the marriage and were marital funds used to upkeep the condo . In that case your wife may have a different interest. As far as the pension is concerned your wife has interest in the value of the coverture portion from the date of marriage to the filing of the complaint for divorce.
