Ralphy, you need to look at what you are legally entitled to. You and I are in illinois, this is no fault State, right...and what's hers is yours, yours is hers, unless there was an agreement in writing before the marriage.
i've seen lots of guys get thier pensions 'shortened' even though they had the pension prior to marriage or houses forced to be sold.
If you let her use those other arguments, that is your choice. you should spend a few moments of your time looking at some legal sites or certainly it does not hurt to contact a lawyer to educate yourself. There is a pretty good one here in Illinois...not sure if it is ok to list outside sources, but i'll risk it..
Knowledge is POWER.
