You can get more out of the equity in the house, if there is one, or other property. You should consult with an attorney.

You are entitled to 1/2 the "present value" of the retirement benefit. You may get this through an asset award, through a larger spousal support award, or through more debts being assigned to your husband, or through a combination of these.
