That should have been worked out at the time she put up the money. If a court had to decide this, there would be inquiry to try to figure out what the parties expectations were at the time. Was it a gift, a loan, or an equity investment? That SHOULD have been agreed and documented at the start. If it wasn't there is no way to answer your question without a full review of all the facts and any relevant documents.
