undefinedWhat is the name of your state? NH

For the past 3 1/2 years I have been in a Vermont civil union but living in the state of NH. My wife and I own a house together and a month ago she came home and told me she wanted out the marriage and now wants to keep the house. She has since had me arrested on false assault charges and has a restraining order against me. I need to know what my rights are as a homeowner and if I can demand the house be sold, rather than her buying out my equity in the house. Can anyone help me?

Even if you demand that it is sold, how would that happen? The two of you would have to agree on a sales price and on the next buyer.Why not offer the 'wife' a price much higher than the equity so that you can get your name off of the deed and mortgage and get yourself a new life of peace?
