Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

I signed a lease with a roommate in April of 2013. Her and I ended up getting into a disagreement and she moved out in August of that year, when we had just signed a 13-month lease four months prior. She stopped paying all rent and utilities, leaving me with everything. I am pregnant and do not want to have some stranger move in with me. Can I sue her for the unpaid rent since she is a co-tenant? She's left me in a horrible situation and I think she should fulfill her financial obligation. Could I also sue her for utilities? I guess I would just like to inflict the most damage possible as she has been particularly nasty about all of this. Can I include my court fees as well?

It all depends on your written agreement. If you have none, my guess rent contribution is all you can get, but it would be up to the judge.
