More details to this question:
We are divorcing because my wife had an affair and is in love with someone else. I recently retired from the Navy after 20 years, we moved to SC in a new house, had a vasectomy, and after three months of being here, she told me she wanted a divorce and I had to leave the house by the holidays. I cannot prove adultery, but have many e-mails and FB messages to show intent and her game plan.

Yes your retirement is subject to equitable distribution. If you earn a larger salary then her I would strongly suggest hiring a PI to prove adultery. If you can prove adultery then you will not have to pay her alimony. Alimony can be for her life time, your life time, or until she remarries or lives with someone more than 90 days. It can be quite costly.
