Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

We both Own the House & Separating

We each have 50% of a house. We are separating & living together in a violital situation. House is for sale. Not moving. He offered me an acceptable amt but has reneged. I have made several offers on other homes, based on his designated amt. but all were rejected. I am trying to move. Now, his offer is lower and incudes all of my furniture. This is not acceptable. He seems to be ''playing with me''. Market is not good in L.V., and I want to move. What can be done to encourage finality here? Medition? I am filing a police report soon due my missing gun. Not funny. We know the houses'worth, I'd like my share, he wants to remain in the house but will not pay the right amt. to me to ''hurt'' me. House remains on the market but not happening. I want to compel him to pay the original amount agreed upon by both of us (I have it in writing) AND it does not include my furnishings nor the appliances that I paid for. How can I make him conclude this? Can you please help me? Thanks much.

Re: We both Own the House & Separating

The Nevada law governing partition actions permits a court-ordered sale of the property and distribution of the net sale proceeds to the owners as their interests appear. The law can be found at this link: http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-039.html Your attorney can explain further.
