She may if marital assets were used to pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance and maintenance over the years.

She may; it depends on several factors (such as if there has been appreciation, if there was a mortgage that was paid during the marriage, etc.). I urge you to consult with an attorney on the specifics of this matter.
