Re: what are my rights
Is the property a tenancy in common or by the entirety?
You may be able to move to partition the property.

Re: what are my rights
Because you and your partner are of the same sex, the properties must be owned as tenants in common. If your partner refuses to sell, you can force the sale by partition, and then either through a realtor or through an auction. In almost 40 years of practicing, I have never seen it go by auction. After the action is started cooler heads prevail.
However, once you have decided to end the business relationship, you should act fast to avoid problems..
