Well you have more problems now. If you are living with someone in a conjugal relationship, you cannot get maintenance. You are still entitled to a portion of the marital assets including any equity in your home, your husband's pension, a share of the furnishings, etc. You don't say whether you are already in court or not but it sounds like you might be. If not, you should probably reconsider your options. Either way, you still need to talk to a lawyer and should do so right away.
