Barry v. Barry ( 1985 )

PER CURIAM.

This case has been considered en banc because it sought to raise a question of exceptional importance: whether a pension earned during the course of a marriage should be treated as a marital asset for purposes of “equitable distribution.”¹ Upon review of the record in this case, where each party has a vested pension and the trial court has retained jurisdiction, we have concluded that the trial judge’s determination was reasonable and must be affirmed, pursuant to the Canakaris test,² irrespective of the answer to the foregoing question.

AFFIRMED.
