When you gb signed on the purchase agreement and the property was deeded to her and you, she became half owner.   the only way to remove her is by getting her to quit claim her interest to you, she will probably want something for that. you can force the property to be sold to split any proceeds  keep an accounting of what is spent on the home, payments, taxes, repairs etc. when  the property is sold, half of all you spent can be deducted from her share at sale.   that is the extent of what you can do here
