More details to this question:
Hello! What are the chances of my husband being awarded equity in my home through divorce if the home is in my name and he abandoned the household two months in the marriage so I have kept up on payments? Also, would he be awarded split of my 401k if I am taking all the financial burden? He has no credit or desire to take on any debt but his mom is encouraging him to go after my equity and 401k

My first question is, where is your attorney in all of this? Your attorney can provide detailed answers that I can only guess at.
As to the house, there is a chance that he could be awarded some of the equity in the home. The same is true for your retirement programs.
This is where you need to have an aggressive and experienced family law attorney working for you to minimize your potential losses. You may well be able to argue the abandonment, and hence significantly lower what he can get.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I offer an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office.
Don't wait any longer, give a call and let's getting working to protect your interests.
