The portion that gets split is the appreciation of assets during the course of the marriage.
For example, if the husband had an investment of $100,000 on the wedding day and it was worth $150,000 on the day of separation, then $50,000 is to be split 50/50.
The house is the exception, it is usually split 50/50, but in this case it doesn't sound like either party owns the house.
Business owners have ways of moving assets around that individuals don't have access to, often it takes a forensic accountant to find it all.
