If you wish to keep the house then you will have to refinance the house in your own name so that she is no longer responsible for the mortgage...and you will have to buy out whatever share of the home's equity that a judge determines belongs to her. If you cannot do that, then yes, its likely that a judge will order you to sell the home and split the proceeds. You can certainly have the 8000.00 that she took taken into consideration in the property settlement.
