Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

I am thinkining of filing for divorce at the beginning of the year. My husband was injured prior to us getting married in 2001, however we had been together for multiple years before that our child at the time was 8 eight when we married. My question is that we have invested most of the money recvd in the lump sum portion and not touched it and some of my personal funds also invested along with it, will that be looked at as marital asset. Also our home was built and completely paid for with that money. I have worked our entire marriage and contribute to the home and bills. I have also been his sole caregiver during the entire marriage. I have also carried family insurance during this entire time. I guess just trying to figure out what I will be entitled to. I live in Indiana and I know its equitable division state, however I know personal injury settlement will probably be looked at differently. Most is set up in annuinity and I know I wont be entitled to it. Just looking at what we have now. Our son is 17 so there will be no custody issues or support issues.
