Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

13 years ago I bought a house with my wife. 11 years ago my wife's mother paid off the mortgage as a gift, but the title is now in my wife's name only. My wife now wants out of the marriage. I have always been the wage earner, she has had occasional part time jobs. I have always paid utilitys and maintainance, taxes etc. Just wondering if I have a claim to anything or if I have to leave with nothing as far as the properety.
