you have lots of options. marital property is anything you aquired during the marriage. this includes the house, retirement accounts, vehicles, financial accounts, household goods, etc. it doesn't matter who's name is on the account; if it was acquired during the marriage then it's usually regarded as marital property. if you and your wife are going to divorce then each of you is entitiled to an equitalbe (fair) part of the marital property. what's fair depends on the particulars of your situation. it may be 50-50; it may be something else; each case is different.
if you two can agree on what's a fair distribution, that's good. if you can't, then the court will hold a hearing and decide for you. it may help you to consult with a lawyer to help you figure out what is fair in your particular case and how you should proceed.
best of luck!
