If you live in a community property state like California, you are entitled to one-half of whatever was acquired during the term of marriage. You should seek the assistance of a family law attorney ASAP.

You are entitled to one half of everything acquired during marriage unless it was acquired by gift or inheritance. Assets can be frozen for good cause. You made need a lawyer to help you.

And what about your assets? Do you have any? Or are you saying that all of the assets of the community are in your husband's name? Talk with an attorney and bring all of the documentation you have. Your attorney will then have enough information to answer your question. Chances are the court will issue an automatic order freezing everything but ordinary expenses. If not, your attorney will ask for it.

See an attorney who can figure out his income. Assets and debts acquired during marriage in CA are generally to be equally divided no matter whose name they are in. Houses have different rules as do stock options.
