In short, to force the sale of jointly owned property, you must first confirm title, then attempt a voluntary sale or buyout, file and serve a partition lawsuit, get an appraisal, sell the property, and finally divide the sale proceeds fairly.
As joint tenants, two or more people share ownership of the property, each with an undivided equal interest. Unlike tenants in common, there is a right of survivorship for the other co-owners upon the death of another. This allows the property to be transferred outside of probate upon the death of a co-owner.
No owner can sell or transfer their interest in the property without the consent of the other joint tenants.
Understanding Partition Lawsuits in Michigan: A partition lawsuit is a legal action used to resolve disputes between co-owners of real property. It seeks a court-ordered division or sale of the property to ensure each co-owner receives their fair share.

If your ex-spouse refuses to sell the house, you can take the case to the Family Court. The judge can order the sale of a house in a divorce. This involves having the property valued and sold for that value.
Until the contracts are signed and exchanged, a seller can pull out of the house sale without any concerns about legal action being taken against them. With no contract, there is no legal obligation for them to sell and they can pursue alternative avenues of sale or remove the house from sale altogether.
