If I go this way, do the courts take over everything. What about pictures and small stuff.

Re: pettion to partition
A petition to partition deals with the real property only. The result could be division in kind or a forced sale, depending on the facts.
As to personal property, if you are a co-tenant, you have a right of access and can generally remove your property. If you are not allowed on the property, perhaps you have been "ousted"
I encourage you to go through the NC Bar Association. You can meet with an attorney and get legal advice about the facts of your case specific to your situation with a small fee of only $30.
It is simply not possible to give you advice with these limited facts.
Best wishes,
