Probably the same as if he hadn't moved his parents in.

WHAT STATE?

the state is Fla. He is telling me that he wants the house that I put my 401k retirement $13,000 into so that we could payoff some bills to get into, and that I will have to pay half of the bills that we have acquired over the years, and he is also telling me that I have no right to any of his retirement. My job ended early this year and I am unemployed at the moment (but looking) And becuase of the parent situation I had to move out and get an apartment with my daughter to help me pay the bills.
What am I entitled too or am I.

I can answer only in terms of Indiana law. With that in mind:

Anything acquired during the marriage would be half yours (any increased value in the home, his pension, etc.)

And I think you have a very good argument for an additional $13K in the house equity IF the 401K money was earned before the marriage, not during. If it was during the marriage, then it's considered part of the marital pot, just like his retirement and would be split evenly.

Sounds like you have a tough road ahead. Best of luck to you....
