If you have a lawyer you might get back that amount of the inheritance you can trace went to the community estate.

This is not enough information to know if this is a fair division. Nor did you say whether you intermingled the money you inherited. If you did, unless you can trace it exactly, it will be treated as a gift to the community.

Each case rests on the details of the facts. Without additional knowledge of them not valid opinion is possible. Counsel with an attorney, you are going to need one.
