It depends. You should know that you don't have to get your equity out....you likely own half, including the property itself.
If you and the boyfriend can't agree on a buyout agreement you will have to file a suit for partition. Like any lawsuit, this can be time consuming and therefore expensive, since you will have legal fees and will also have to pay a trustee appointed by the court to sell the property. If it goes all the way through trial you can expect to pay several thousand dollars at a minimum.
