Your husband is probably entitled to little more than the clothes on his back....exactly what he came into the marriage with. He may have an entitlement to 1/2 of anything which was earned during the marriage but no more.

I suggest you meet with a family law attorney in your area to review this matter and determine all of your rights and obligations.
