More details to this question:
This is in PA. I own my home and only my name is on it. I owned it before I married. I own 3 vehicles and only my name is on them. Two of them I owned before I was married. I have a good engineering job and make over $100K a year with a generous retirement plan through the company. I have been married 1 month shy of 9 years. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

The home is non marital property, thus she would only have an interest in the increase in value of the house from the date of marriage to the date of separation. All property acquired during the marriage is marital property and she would have an interest in it. It is possible she has an interest in your retirement and all other property. You should really call a local divorce attorney and discuss the details.
