Your spouse is entitled to an equitable share of the retirement benefits that accrued during your marriage.  You will need documentation from the pension administrator as to what the value was at the time of marriage, and what the value was at the time of separation.  Any contributions to the pension after separation are also excluded.  However, any interest earned until the asset is distributed is includable for distribution.
