My wife made the money, now she wants to leave me penniless

My wife and I have been living positively with HIV for more than eight years. She has been providing more because she has a well paying job while I work as an underwriter. This has never been a problem for us but since she started succumbing to the opportunistic infections, she has changed to this arrogant and selfish woman even claiming that I infected her with the virus. She wants a divorce and she says that she worked hard for all the property we have and that I am not entitled to any share. This is true because she has always been earning the big money but I thought that I was entitled to a portion of the family wealth if we separated. She says that if I am man enough I should not claim anything from her. I don't have enough money for a lawyer so I need your help. Do I have a right to claim a share of the property we have acquired in our marriage in the event of divorce? {Ernest}
