I would say if you bought it together then 50-50 is the way to go offering a fair deal in the begining will show a judge should it go so far, that you were trying to be fair from the start. Also do not let your emotions have a say in any negotiations.... think of this as a business transaction and you might end up with more than you would have thought. Feeling like you have to screw your partner to make yourself feel better about her screwing around will only cost more in attorneys fees and possibly bite you in the a** later. IMHO

".....I can't wait to get this done and behind me, and recover in the arms of a 20 year old tica that has my happiness as her mission."

More like, whatever remains of your money.....as her mission.

Zebra is right, as long as your money holds out, her mission will be your happiness.

Write down on a piece of paper what you want to get. Put it in your backpocket and then follow it as your emotions begin to take over.

Most states in the US treat division of assets on a "no fault basis" meaning whatever she did to cheat on you will not affect the outcome of the division of assets. Of course a judge or jury will be affected by the story but legally she was you business partner so Its best just to be fair and offer her whatever percentage she put up to help buy the property

Did I mention their was little to no equity in the home?

You could Quit claim the deed to her but you would still be on the hook for payments unless she re-fi'd the house, or the Lender would remove you (very unlikely).
