Stop petition to partition in Massachusetts
Sorry, but I do not know of any way to stop a petition to partition. The other owners of the house have the right to sell their interest in the property. As difficult as the situation is for you, the law cannot force a person to continue their ownership of a piece of property if they wish to sell.
Time frame
If they do file, what would be the expected time before we would be forced to sell? Is the court able to take hardship circumstances into consideration and possibly grant us enough time to make something work. We would need approx 6-8 months to be in a position to buy something.
how long for petition to partition
The process can take months or years depending on the individual case, the issues to be resolved, and the county where the property is located. Every county has varying back-logs of cases and different waiting periods before the parties can schedule matters before the judge. You might try mediation of some sort to find a less expensive compromise that will give you a few months to get your financial ducks in a row. Your relative may be willing to negotiate in order to avoid the expense of litigation.
