You are entitled to receive one half the value of the martial estate, including the marital portion of his military retirement. You may be entitled to more than 50% of the martial property, and spousal support, depending on your specific circumstances. You should schedule a consultation with an attorney in order to get a better idea of what a distribution of assets would look like in your case, and to create a plan of action.
