    No kids in the relationship?

    Move out.

    Notify the other party to list and sell the property and if they don't do by the agreed upon date you will motion for the immediate sale of the property and equalization.

    Then notify the lender (mortgage holder) you have vacated the property. For most mortgage agreements this violates the agreement 90% of the time and they can (if you suggest to them) to call the mortgage. This will force an immediate sale of the home. Also notify the insurance company you have left too. Generally the mortgage agreement and insurance provider require everyone on the agreement to live at the residence.

    You can also make a motion for the immediate sale of the property.

    Also, you can move out and tell the other party that you will seek "occupational rent" if they continue to reside in the property. You have a right to seek occupational rent from them. (Look it up on the internet.)

    Good Luck!
