You can file a suit for partition. The court will usually allow one party to offer to buy the other out and failing such, then require it be sold on the open market at the best price to a bonafide purchaser for value. If not offers, then the property would be sold at a judicial or forced sale. The proceeds would be shared according to the ownership interests of each party.
