My boyfriend and i have been living together for 3 months, dating for 4, and have known eachother for a long time. He recently seperated from his wife and she moved back to her moms, he CANT afford to filr for divorce, and when she left she took all of his stuff with her, weve got a list and pictures of what she did to the house, but she says she wont give anything back. Now that i am living with him, can she use that against him in court? Hes not cheating if they are seperated right? Im not the kinda person that looks for this kind of situation, i just want to know that he isnt going to get screwed over... help....

Check your state laws - if divorces are all "no contest", then your status as his g/f won't matter in settling material things/assets.
If they have kids, it can affect custody/visitation, as per the judge's discretion.
In a divorce (I've been thru 2), everyone always feels they've been screwed over, and in most cases, everyone is (both parties!).
I suggest you find a book called "Surviving Your Boyfriends Divorce" - it will be most helpful!
And, again - check your state laws. If there are so little assets neither can afford to live on their own/file for divorce, a 'do it yourself' filing can be inexpensive and easy, if they are both agreeable to divorcing. Some states even allow you to file online, most allow you to at least download the forms for filing yourself. In many cases, the courts will waive the filing fee or at least postpone payment. Check with your local courthouse.
