No. No. No. But you had have an attorney willing to push the matter if she keeps demanding it anyway. Divorce law is cut throat. Kellie 212.883.1963

In the pension was earned prior to marriage, your wife should not be entitled to it. Keep in mind, in divorce, and most law suits, people always ask for more than they can possibly get.
