How can I safeguard my money from my spouse

I've been in a car accident a few years ago my case is coming to a close. I went back to work without missing a day I was the only one working and stayed working for the duration. My spouse was extremely abusive to the point with all of the .drama at home, I couldn't balance the stress and lost two jobs. It ended when he became so drunk he was physically abusive and called the police. He knew abut the law suite and he wants half he doesn't know my lawyers name, number or anything to do with the case. I want to safeguard my money since he wasn't even there for me after my back surgery and had to take care of myself which ended me up with infections from my wound. Also my lawyer has listed me single instead of married.
