I agree with Robert you need legal advice. I would not think you would get any of the settlement since the money will come to her in her name. Do you two own your home together? You may be able to split the equity. Can you work things out with her?

I don't think you'd get the settlement, but I'm not a lawyer, and I don't live in Mass. Your best bet is to talk to someone who is, and does. An attorney can give you all the answers as far as what to expect. Talk to your friends, find a good one you can trust.
