getting a divorce after 7 yrs

I would like to start the proceeding of getting a divorce after 7 yrs of marriage. My husband has 3 children, but we do not have any children together. We do have a house that was just refinanced, i am not working, but my husband is and he has a 401k. What can i legally ask for out of this marriage. I want to get something out of this marriage for the 7 yrs i gave to him and his family.

More information is needed, but it appears that you are entitled to part of his 401K and possibly some equity in the house. You should consult with an attorney.

Based on the limited information given in your question you are probably entitled to 1/2 of the equity in the house, part of the 401K, and likely spousal support. If you contact the office we can give you a better idea after asking you some additional questions.
