Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I own a condo with my brother and his ex-wife. I am the primary but do not live at the residence. they are the secondary on the mortgage. My brother live in the condo, the ex-wife does not. The court wants the property sold to satify an agreement in the divorce terms. I do not want to sell. Can the court force me to sell?

Yes - the court can order the partition of the property (if you are a party to the case and have been served with summons) if a proper pleading has been filed. Otherwise, they can not do anything.
