Welcome to wikivorce Scott. Presumably although you have the Absolute, you do not have a financial settlement.
The lump sum will be part of the marital pot. How that pot is divided will depend on a range of factors including length of marriage, incomes, children etc. It is probably a good idea not to spend it on anything non essential. If you are seen to have dissipated marital assets, they can be factored in to the pot as if they still exist.
