I am thoroughly confused by many of the posts here. Unusually I am female and the major earner in a 30yr plus marriage about to end in divorce.

Can anyone help?
My queries are;
What is the impact of the larger pension pot owner being female?
My pot is about 7x the size of my husbands but his pension forecast income is 1/5th of mine and not 1/7th. Why is this and what is the impact on how we decide to split the fund?
What is the difference between a split based on CETV and one based on income?
If I ask for a split o we both have the same income will a court support this?
Sorry if this is all really basic stuff but I am struggling to make sense of it all.
Thanks for any help provided:

One reason is that males do not live as long as females so the pot is split over the estimated number of years each of the parties lives. Another reason is smoking . Smokers don't live so long so could get a higher pension !!
