legal options on mortgage or deed

I am looking for my options
I have been living with my inlaws paying halfof the mortgage. I am not on the
loan but on the deed. I want to move out. Had a falling out with father in law.
His wife and daughter want to leave as well. Due to him not keeping the house up
or himself we would like to leave. I threatened but nothing has changed.

What are my options and can i sue for what I think is mine for my portion of the
house?

If you are an owner with other parties and disagree about selling the house, you can bring what is called an action for partition, requesting the court to divide the aasset equally, which with real estate means it is ordered sold.  Speak with an attorney about this.  Good luck.
