This is likely a fruitless lawsuit for two reasons.

First, there is a proof issue. If she was convicted or plead guilty of the charges, then she would have a hard time proving that the drugs were completely his and not hers. Further, if she was aware of the drugs in the home, again it would be difficult.

Second, even if she wins, if he has no assets she may get a judgment she may never collect.
