You can only be divorced at the time of the pre-trial if you have everything agreed upon in writing. If your pre-marital contributions to your pension is contested, the matter will be set for trial. Certainly on a shorter marriage, the court has authority under the law to do a coverture fraction formula or some other type of pre-marital credit to your pension, and only divide up that portion of the pension accrued while married.
