Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

divorce rights

My husband and I have been married for 4 1/2 yrs. Everything we have is in his name or his and his daughters name. She has power of attorney as she takes care of his businesses. I have no idea how much money or how much debt we have. If we get a divorce will I not have a legal right to anything since my name isn't on any of it? Will he be able to say it is his daughters to protect himself? He has most everything connected to his business accounts instead of any household account.
