You are probably not going to get much help here as the issue appears to require a lawyer.

She may be entitled to 1/2 growth in value of the house as it was the matrimonial home. But that would only be growth, and minihomes don't generally appreciate.

Get a lawyer or go to your local court house and see if you can speak to duty counsel. Also see if you qualify for legal aid.
