According to Time:

If both partners sign the title as tenants in common, then each owns a
specified percentage of the property. One person may own a 60%
interest, while the other owns 40%, for example. This split is
specified in the deed. (Emphases mine.)

There is another form of ownership call "joint tenants". This is where everything is shared equally.

First find out what kind of ownership you have, then consult an attorney if you feel that legal action might be needed to resolve your issue.
