Depends on what state you live in.
If you live in a community property state, than any property bought during the marriage will be split equitable (not to be confused with equally).
Anything either one of you came into the marriage with goes with you when you divorce. Most inheritance or court awards are considered personal property, and will go with the respective owner, unless you bought real property with it for the marriage (i.e, you inherited from grandma and bought the homestead, which is in your and husbands name. That could be viewed as community. Or if you bought a house with the money, but he dumped a lot of his own money into fixing it up, the house could either be considered community, or you would have to reimburse him the money.)
If you tell me what state you are in, I can get you more information.
