More details to this question:
My former partner and I are trying to settle on our house. We are an unmarried couple with no domestic partnership agreement. During that last 6 years, we have lived in a house we purchased, I have been in school for 4 years with his support and approval. He has paid all of the mortgage for the years I was in school. When I started working 2 years ago, I was able to pay half of the mortgage. Thanks so much.

You are asking for a share of community property. That only applies to married people and Registered Partnerships. If you own the house together then you will receive your share of that and anything else you OWN together. But not 401k etc.

As you are not married you do not get any of his assets. I hope your name is on title to the house so you can get a share of the proceeds.
