Whether you could have a valid marital claim to the increase in the equity of the property will likely depend upon whether you have contributed in some way to its increase in value during the course of the marriage and whether you're able to demonstrate credible proof of such contribution.

This is a complex area of the law. Even with more facts it would be difficult to respond. You really need to consult with an attorney and discuss the facts of your case.
