You have a relatively long term marriage. If the 401-k funds and home were paid for with marital earnings then they will be distributed between you and your husband (but so will any marital debts). With a marriage of that length, spousal support or alimony will definitely be an issue for the court to consider, based upon its findings on many factors including your earning capacity, his earning capacity, your health, his health, etc.
