There's no way to answer you. We don't know if you're facing divorce, or perhaps wondering about inheritance, or facing no issues. We don't know how much you contributed or what changes in value have happened to the home. Perhaps you can reask your question with more information?
If you were thinking about filing for divorce, you may be able to obtain the value of the work/money that increased the value of the house. However, because he owned the house before you were married, it is very unlikely that you would maintain possession of the house after the divorce.
