Although I do not know specifics so I can only offer very general advise if her name is one the home than legally she does own it and you have no legal right to live on the premises. If you have paid rent for the past two years that is something you can show but I assume there was no lease
If there was no lease than there is no agreement binding either of you to follow through with any specified terms. As such you were simply living in her home and helping pay expenses. If she wants you to leave than she does have that right.
Would you be able to get more time? I do not know and honestly it would be discretionary to a judge based on the facts and if they feel you had an implied contract. However you wouldn't know until you went to court.
You could call a local landlord - tenant attorney and ask for their advice as they may have handled similar matters in that area. Otherwise she can have you removed so you should prepare for that situation
