    You both are, it is not like a divorce, so unless you have a written agreement before hand who gets what, you are both still owners of the house.
    You will have to decide, try to buy the other side out, so if you want to keep it, you will have to pay the other person 1/2 of the equity of the house, and then only if they agree to sell you their half.
