It depends on the laws of your state. Assuming there are no children involved - just the two of you....generally speaking, what you bring into the marriage, you get to take out of the marriage. If you owned property going in, or if you inherited money, or if you had investments...you keep them. But there may be conditions. If you owned the marriage home when you two got together, but your wife's income contributed to the care, maintenance and improvement - she would be entitled to a percentage of any increase in equity during that five years. She could also be entitled to a percentage of the growth in your investments during that period. But, she could also be responsible for debt incurred during the marriage. Find a good attorney.
