Also, what would happen if we both have debts such as credit card debts? For example, my cc debt is bigger than hers.. would that be taken into consideration because the debts were accumulated during the relationship!?

In theory (subject to negotiation and a court intervening if necessary) all the assets are debts are split 50/50 so basically all you want to do is add up all the assets (pensions, houses, cars, expensive diamond bracelets, savings, investments etc) and then deduct all the debts (credit cards, mortgages, loans, etc) to get a value of the marital pot. Then you each should get assets to 50% of that value. 

Breaking it down to each individual thing one at a time just makes it more complicated.
