If one persons name is on the deeds and they are married does this entitle them to anything in a divorce?
In community property states, YES, unless that's changed. However, even if only one person's name is on the deed, a judge may grant the other party a percentage of assets, depending on the circumstances. A woman (or a man) is usually entitled to something, unless a prenuptial agreement was signed beforehand.
If a woman marries a man and does not enter into a pre-nup, and he keeps all deeds in his name, and she stays and supports him (by taking care of his needs, thus helping him to further prosper), then the judge may grant her whatever he (or she) deems suitable.
Now, if the deed is in the name of the man (or woman) only, and they are widowed, the next of kin claims the assets. If there are children from a previous marriage, or even from that marriage, the widow is entitled to a child's share. If there are 3 children and a surviving wife, they would each get 1/4, after expenses are paid.
If I'm wrong on this, correct me - laws and statutes vary from state to state.

No, persons who are unlawfully present in the U.S. do not qualify for traditional legal status, such as marriage and divorce. If said persons were married within the U.S. the marriage would not be considered valid in the legal sense and therefore a petition for the dissolution of the union would not be necessary. This does not apply when an undocumented foreign national marries a U.S. citizen.
