Re: she owns home on paper

You need to get to a lawyer now. You may be able to demonstrate that the home should be both of yours and create a constructive trust but for the most part, she owns the home and you are entitled to nothing without proof and some fighting. you need her to sign off of a new deed or contract between the two of you. See a lawyer now.
