Is there a way to legally remove someone’s name from a mortgage if they are unwilling to refinance and sign off ?

My significant other and I recently
bought a home . Both our names are
on the mortgage . However it was my
money used for down payment and
closing fees. Since then they have
not lived up to their financial
obligations as far as repayment of
their half of the purchase nor
monthly expenses as agreed.is there
any legal way to have their name
removed from the mortgage aside
from refinancing and them doing so
willingly ?
