If you received the settlement while you were still married and live in a state where everything is divided 50/50, then yes I believe he would have half if you divorce.

What state are you in? That makes all the difference in these situations.

Was your husband listed as a plaintiff in the suit along with you? If he was, then yes. If he was not listed, then no.
