The court cannot grant or divide a future asset.  Even though your husband signed a contract, there is a chance he won't earn that contract.  As such, you need to wait until after he has received the bonus to seek or finalize your divorce. As far as how much you will receive, that will depend on the value of the estate and how the court divides the estate.  For example, if there is a vehicle worth $20K with no lien and it is awarded to you... then the court could let him keep the bonus... as a way to equalize the division of the estate.
