In Ohio you are entitled to 1/2 of the assets and possible the debts. Your question does not state if you are working outside of the house or not. If you are not employed or if you have a low paying job or minimal hours after 32 years you will be receiving spousal support ( alimony) for an extended period of time.
The fact that there is another woman does not unfortunately get you a dime more. Marital fault is not taken into consideration in a divorce. Now if by chance he is diverting marital assets to his girlfriend you may have a case for financial misconduct. Get a good lawyer. Good luck.
