Pension while seperated
I am seperated after 31 years of marriage, we have been apart for only one month, my husband left me, he is retired for 1 year, he voluntarily is giving me half his pension so we don't have to obtain an attorney yet. He is thinking of going back to his police job, he has a time frame in which to do this, then he will be off of the pension till he retires again.Legally does he still need to compensate me until he retires for good since this has been our agreement so far and if he doesn't go off of retirement is he responsible for any other money to me? We have no home or marital assets, I stayed in his house that he inherited from his father a year ago. Under law does he have to split the house with me since it was his inheritance? We had been married for 30 years when he inherited it.

You are asking serious questions that are difficult to address in this forum.
However, New Jersey is an "equitable distribution state." This means that in a divorce in New Jersey, any property that is acquired during the marriage must be divided in an equitable manner. Therefore, any marital property must be distributed either by a voluntary agreement of the parties or by an order of the divorce court.
Equitable distribution basically is the process as to how marital assets will be distributed. The distribution of marital assets is always very hotly contested and emotionally charged. In many cases, the parties actually become violent when they try to reach an agreement as to how to split up the marital assets.
The main theory of equitable distribution is that a marriage is an economic partnership. Therefore, each spouse is entitled to a share of the marital property.
There are many factors that a court takes into consideration when it determines how to equitably distribute the marital assets.
Besides the equitable distribution, there is an alimony component, and retirement questions.
