More details to this question:
I lived with my girlfriend for 4 yrs. I bought house and $15,000 worth of upgrades and new furnishings. I got married after I bought everything for her, 1 month later she ask me to leave and said she didn't want to be married. I filed for divorce and moved. We filed the initial paperwork giving her everything but my truck. It's now time to file final paperwork and she won't anwser my calls to do this. I have proof she was cheating before we were even married. I live in Pa., she just received a DUI and wrecked her car. I don't party and want nothing to do with her.

You really need to sort out all of this stuff in person with an attorney. However, if you bought the house before the marriage, it may not be marital property. As long as your attorney has a good address on her, he can force her in to a divorce, but must wait 2 years from the date of separation.
