The fact that you moved out does not impair your entitlement to the value or equity of the home: you will still get the same proportion or share that you would have gotten had you still lived there. What it would effect is who would physically get the home; for example, if your husband wants to live there, he is more likely to get the home than you, subject to you having to get the appropriate amount of money or other assets to compensate for him physically getting the home.
