You have the right under Virginia law to claim a statutory share in his augmented estate. You should see a lawyer as soon as possible to act to protect your rights.
Good luck.

If you file for divorce prior to death you may obtain an equitable share in the house even if your name is not on title. Sheryl Shane, Attorney at Law. Web: www.sherylshanelaw.com.
