Anything that is acquired by either of you during the marriage is considered "marital property" which would be subject to equitable division.  Anything that you owned prior to the marriage or anything you might have inherited during the marriage would be considered "separate property" which she could not attach.

Do I have to pay alimony?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
You may or may not be required to pay alimony for some period of time; you need to consult an attorney familiar with Georgia law to evaluate the actual facts of your case in the context of what Georgia law requires. As a rule, alimony involves a balancing test of need versus ability to pay and alimony is only payable for the time it appears necessary for the receiving spouse to become self-sufficient. In some states infidelity will bar alimony; in other states, infidelity is not relevant to anything.

You don't provide enough information to allow a complete answer; but, the general answer is that all marital property (i.e. acquired during the marriage) and appreciated value of separate property is subject to division in a fair and equitable manner. Your facts suggest there is an issue as to what is and is not marital property, but it isn't clear what reasoning your wife's attorney is suggesting.
