I'll need all the help I can get with this one.

My parents wanted to buy a house and because of credit reasons, in trust they had my brother buy the house. My brother turned around and also put his wife's name on title. For many years we were trying to get her to sign the title over to no avail. Now they are going through an ugly divorce and she wants half. Neither of them put a cent towards the house and it's the only thing that my mom has. I have hired an attorney to represent my parents but, I'm afraid that may not help. Is there anything that anyone can think of that may help us in this case.

My mother has always made all payments but, under an account that she opened under my brother's name until last year that she has been paying the mortgage with her checks. She gave them all reciepts for work done to the house for the income taxes at the end of the year which, they never gave back to her. We do have the plumber, the guy that did the siding on the house,tenants(none of the tenants or past tenants knew my brother or sister-in-law as owners), the guy that sold the house to us, my sister-in-law's father to testify in our favor. My sister-in-law also, wrote a two letters to my brother when they first broke up which, I put away just in case. In those letters my sister-in-law states that she was not going to try to take my mother's house away from her because she was no thief.
