If you are joint owners both of you need to sign the transfer, so if you're not willing that makes it difficult.

In that case the only course of action available to your partner is under property law, to force a sale of the house and division of the proceeds.

I don't think she can sell her share to any old Tom Dick or Harry but I assume it's money she's after, The whole subject is a bit of a minefield and you need advice from someone specialising in this field.

have spoke to lawyer there is only 10k over what we payed for the house and she want 10k to walk you no as well as i do no one will give up all up.if she forces sale its going to cost her 10 to 15k to get nothing back dont you think her lawyer will advise her that its not worth it to get nothing out of it ????
