Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Who owns property?

My daughter and her boyfriend bought a house together. Her name is on the Deed, Mortgage and Real Estate Taxes. They have since split up and he is not paying his half of the mortgage..My question is he entitled to anything from the sale of the house?
