My girlfreind and I bought a house three years ago. We each put 20,000 down and each paid 50 percent closing cost. But the house and loan are in her name. Now she wants the house. Can she do that

It matters how the property is titled not whose name the loan is in. If the title is in her name, then she owns it legally. You may have a right to impose an equitable lien for the money you paid into. Seek some legal help.
