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.

One should avoid comingling of pre-marital assests generally upon (re)marriage. You should try to keep any property, whether real estate or personal preoprty such as IRA(s) in your own name. If you continue to contribute to the same 401 K after the marriage this amount will be subject division upon divorce and it may creat a valuation problem. A prenuptial agreement may help. As a general rule keep them separate to retain exemption from equitable distribution.
Re: divorce
You can be certain that you never commingle those assets with marital assets because they thereby become marital assets. You could have a prenuptial agreement protecting premarital assets.
Call me if you like.
