Re: re house partner

A partition suit is probably too complex for pro se, so you will have to hire an attorney. In general terms, you presently own a share of one property. You are asking the court to divide the property into two parts, with separate ownership of each part. Since this is a residence, doing so is not really possible, so instead, the court orders that the property be sold and that the two of you split the proceeds. If this was farmland, the property could be divided and there would not be a need to sell in order to apportion interest.
