Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

About house abandonment.

I bought a house with my Ex-fiance, she left me. With the house all the bills. She has now wants half or sell the house to get half. I one don't feel I should have tro sell or give her half. She left when we were remoldeling. So It would cost a fortune to bring it up to code. I need to know if I can get her for abandoment. Or do I have to buy her out after all this time she's been gone.
