If I were you, I would counter offer, let her keep the house (better for you mentally to start over anyway) .. but in return... you keep 50% of its value (based on most recent property tax) in your pension/investments.
So, if the house is worth $200k and you have $500k in pension/investments... she would only get $150k worth of them instead of $250k
THAT seems like a fair deal.
If you cant get AT LEAST that... might I suggest antifreeze?
