Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I live in New Jersey. My wife and I were together for 4yrs and married for 3. We have been separated for 2yrs and she has filed for divorce. While we were still together she had filed a lawsuit for over a million dollars. She has received the money and also received it while we were separated but still married. She never went for a legal separation. Am I entitled to any of the money. She filed a no-fault divorce.
