Description

This is a divorce case involving equitable distribution of a defined benefit pension fund. The issue presented is whether the non-employee spouses share in a deferred distribution of a pension should be based upon the salary which the employee-spouse earned at the date of separation or upon the amount earned at some post-separation retirement date. The trial court determined that the marital share should be based on the employees pension to be received at the time the pension plan enters pay status. Superior Court reversed, holding that the amount to be awarded the non-employee spouse should be based on the employees salary at the date of separation, but augmented by growth in the pension fund based on factors other than the employers or employees contributions to the fund after the date of separation. 409 Pa. Super. 355, 372, 598 A.2d 31, 40 (19910). We affirm.
