Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorce and community property

My current husband and I bought our home prior to getting married. I had bad credit so to get the best rate we went with just his name. Our agreement was to pay the household finances together. I became responsible for the household needs and bills and he paid the mortgage. Now after 6 years were getting a divorce. What do I do? How do I protect my part of our investment?
