If you sue and you win, yes she will have to pay the rent money back.

Refinance under one name. Buy out your ex or have her buy you out.

Answer 2

So Sue wants to sue...her?

First thing is to call her and find out why her part of the mortgage isn't being paid. You're both responsible for the entire mortgage, not half and half. That's just how you agreed to pay it.

Then you can call your lawyer who will tell you what you can do. You can sue anyone if you have the filing fee, but whether or not you will win or just be wasting your money is a different story.
