What she is entitled to is dependent upon the facts and circumstances of your case. Analyzing it will require many more facts than those posted in your question.
You should contact a matrimonial attorney in your area with whom you feel comfortable and discuss these items in detail.

Under equitable distribution, all marital property acquired by you and your wife will be subject to equitable distribution. The exact amount awarded to each spouse will depend on a number of factors, including the contributions made by each spouse, whether either spouse wasted assets, the overal financial circumstances, and so on.
Separate property will remain separate.
You should speak to a lawyer for specific advice.
