• non-employee spouse’s future benefits from pension fund are a form of deferred compensation and therefore property
• insofar as ex-wife’s beneficial interest in pension fund was acquired during the marriage, upon dissolution of marriage ex-wife became co-owner of the pension benefits as marital property
• in situations where a spouse is awarded a portion of the other spouse’s benefits and a QILDRO cannot be entered, payments may be made “triangularly” from the retirement fund to the retiree and then from the retiree to the spouse
