You should absolutely take action to protect yourself financially.

I'm not familiar with the divorce laws in your country - you should engage with an attorney - but generally you can start splitting off your finances directing any income to an individual account H does not have access to. Also start collecting financial statements (bank, credit cards...etc.) so you have records of the transitions. If H has withdrawn a large amount out of your account and used it on his affair sometimes in a divorce he'll be responsible for paying that back to you.

Again, consult a lawyer about your rights and absolutely take action to protect yourself - think of it as a business deal/negotiation.
