You can get half of the community property. Unless you have a good reason, chances are you will not get half of his sole and separate property.

It is common for people to be living separately prior to filing for divorce. The situation you are in does not necessarily sound safe - it is far better to bring your children to a secure environment. I do suggest you get some advice from an attorney; at the very least, from the family law facilitator at your local courthouse. I do not know your financial situation, but you may be entitled to spousal and/or child support. If you need support, better to file sooner than later.

How do I find out if my wife filed for divorce?

You need to get someone in SD to go to the court to see if she filed. If she does not know where you live she could get a notice published in a San Diego newspaper. She would have to lie to get a divorce without serving you, but it has happened before.
