It is too late to do anything about that now. You need to file for divorce and claim the money as part of the property to be divided. You may be able to use this as a reason to pay some of all of your attorney's fees.

If there are other assets, you should be able to convince the court to have these assets awarded to you to equalize the division of property. If there are no other assets, it will be difficult since you will probably have a hard time enforcing a judgment against your husband.

Depending on how soon he did it before filing. Bring it to the courts attention and ensure he gets ordered to return it and it gets returned or he gets charged with it when dividing the assets and debts.
