It depends on when and where the money in the trust fund came from. And how much time and energy he spend during the marriage managing it.

Re: ''Trustfond''
The answer to your question depends on the source of the trustfund and other factors. If the trust fund was set up prior to the marriage, it is probably separate property. You need to discuss the facts of your case with an attorney.
