1Opinion of the Court

¶ 1. This case is an appeal from a chancellor's grant of divorce and distribution of marital assets with the sole issue bearing on whether the distribution was equitable. The chancellor awarded the wife fifty percent of the husband's retirement benefits which accumulated during the marriage but prior to separation. We are called upon to consider whether the chancellor's ruling was equitable under the principles ofFerguson v. Ferguson, 639 So.2d 921, 928 (Miss. 1994). Finding no reversible error, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
