My understanding of the current law is this:
- Property acquired before the marriage: both you and your soon-to-be ex-wife get to keep what you acquired before the marriage
- Property you acquired during the marriage: split 50-50
- Income from assets during the marriage: split 50-50
- Pensions or retirement income: both parties are put in a place where pensions/retirement income will be split 50-50. She is a public servant, so depending on your respective incomes, you may be entitled to a share of her future pension. If you think she will try to fight for more than 50-50, then you could reasonably argue that her pension would be a set-off.
