Not enough information.  Although not totally clear, I presume that you mean your wife was made a beneficiary of a trust set up by her parents.  If money was taken and used for marital purposes, or otherwise transmuted into community property, perhaps, but most likely the trust itself is not part of your current marital estate, and is probably beyond reach of the divorce court.  You should discuss the known details with your divorce counsel, however.
