The answer to your question is 'yes'.
Now, dont take this wrong, but let me summarize:
you are going to start a divorce. You have to deal with it very soon.
you have a job. he has a job.
you might have kids. custody could be an issue. child support and college tuition needs to be paid. measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
you probably have a house, and maybe some money saved. you have a pension plan. he has a pension plan.
and you want to do this without an attorney's advice.
Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems.
Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the kids.
Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the
attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.
Go hire a lawyer, and figure out what you want to do.

The value of all marital assets is calculatled and each spouse receives half through whatever means of distribution which effect this end in a reasonably efficient manner. So the answer to your question is yes.
