Again, this is just MN; she’s entitled to 50% of your pension/retirement. And you’re entitled to 50% of hers. (That’s just pension piece)
What you did to further her career has *zero* value in the eyes of the court. “I gave up a promising career as a Llama Rider so she could get her Basket Weaving PhD” is irrelevant.
Now some completely unsolicited advice; “This is ****in’ WAR!” is expensive and harder on you than you could ever imagine. I’m not advocating you cave into all her demands but give careful consideration to what it’s gonna cost you in lawyer fees to retain that $500.00 ice auger.

Yes, I am on the hook for her debt also. I never thought it possible to loathe a person as much as I do her. Plus there is still 50-70k of equity in the house that she is getting. I have never once threatened to mess with her teacher retirement and investments. I guess enough isn't enough. And yes, I realize that everything I sacrificed is for naught.
