Expect an equitable distribution of the marital assets and debts. This includes property, and the 401k and retirement based on the portions related to the time married. Just an fyi, if you are considering ending the marriage, she may be as well. Don't make it a diy project.

It could depend on how long you have been married and which property was obtained during the marriage. In Oklahoma, it is an "equitable" division of property, which may not be 50%. Equitable also means that if the two of you cannot decide what is fair to both, then the judge decides and when the judge decides, no one is very happy.
