So the LLC seems - at the outset - to be separate property because it was started before you were married. But somewhere along the line your wife became a signatory on the account. Was she granted other roles in the LLC? Because it may then have "transmuted" into quasi marital property along the way. I would strongly suggest you seek legal help. regardless of the status of the business she cleaned you out. That can be embexxlement or somthing else depending on her status and what she did with the funds. Good luck.
