In Michigan, you would be able to claim a portion of the increase in equity during the marriage. Depending on how much he put down at purchase time, and what the house is worth now, that may or may not be significant. You should consult with an attorney to discuss this in further detail and determine other issues and claims.

Your girlfriend needs to stop waiting for him to cooperate with the process and start acting on the assumption he will not. That means determining if the case is ready for trial; if so, set it for trial; if not, do what needs to be done to get it ready. You don't have to use the services of an attorney to do this but I recommend you do so(what do you expect from an attorney, right?!). one possibility is to seek out an attorney in your area who does "limited scope" or "unbundled" services. this is essentially a "pay as you go" arrangement whereby you can continue to do most of the work on your own but have the services of an attorney available if needed.
