If you own property together with another person, and you no longer want to be a co-owner, you can file to partition the property. If the two of you can't agree on how to divide or otherwise dispose of the property, then the judge can order that the property be sold and the money divided.

Yes, there are options. One would include filing for a judicial partition.
