    If you contributed to the mortgage then you have a financial interest  you need to consult a solicitor asap.

    Who bought the house before you got married? Why is the house in her name alone? Who paid what in?

    I’d speak to a solicitor regarding this ASAP and look to get a charge registered against the property.
