It depends how the property is held.

It depends on whether it is a tenancy in common, joint tenancy, trust and whether the co-owner is your spouse.

Re: shared ownershup for a house
The rights of the owners of real property is largely determined by the type of ownership: tenancy in common, joint tenancy, tenancy by the entirety, and possibly your relationship to one another (i.e, married spouses).
You should bring your paperwork and concerns to an attorney who can help settle your dispute before costly litigation becomes necessary.
