Split shared retirement/pensions

Marital assets get split. Her getting an inheritance is hers and in the eyes of the Court, doesn’t mean she is less deserving of half the marital assets that were accumulated by both people just because some third party relative left her a large sum of money.

Now - if she were to go after you for alimony, you can argue that her inheritance needs to be considered when considering her actual needs of support from you.

Pooling the money the dividing wouldn't be equitable. They really need to be split separately unless their values are of equal value.

You split the part of the retirement gain earned during the marriage. Unless she received the inheritance during the marriage, I don’t see how that is anything.

Sounds shady.

In the USA that is how it works. Pension plans are split. Inheritance are kept by the party that received it, unless it was somehow shared.
