Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Inherited money and divorce

Can my husband get any of the money I inherited from my parents after they died if we should divorce?

He refused to work since I've known him. Would I have to pay alimony since I stupidly supported him for the past 20 years? He is getting Social Security but I am too young.
