Even if this is a case of "mistaken identity" I recommend seeing an attorney, who can review the file and advise you. It will be much harder to staighten out if a judgment is entered.

The court has the authority to divide all marital property, unless you both come to an agreement on this issue. It is common for annuities to be divided as they are received ( for a long period of time as you suspect), but it may be possible to have the amount reduced to a lump sum. That may or may not be the best solution for you. You should consult with an attorney to fully explore your options.

Custody cases take a lot of preparation, and can be difficult to predict. Often, the report of the custody evaluator is an important factor for the judge to consider, however, the judge must still use his or her independent judgment in determining custody. I recommend consulting with an attorney as soon as possible.
