NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It is easier if you agree. If not, you will have to file a partition action wherein the court will try to resolve the situation by either having one party buy the other out or by dividing the property if it is divisible which you seem to indicate it can. If not, the judge will order the property be put up for sale and the proceeds divided between the parties.
