We have a house in both our names, I have the mortgage alone. I want to buy her out and keep the house, she wants to sell and split the proceeds. Who wins this?

A judge could go either way on this. There is no good reason for her to take that position IF the pay out to her would be the same. If there is a dispute regarding the value of the house, the judge could decide to order a sale. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
