Obligation to Sell Real Estate Between Unmarried

I think he can force sale if she refuses to do so. As such, probably
nondischargeable.

Couple
I think this turns on whether her remedy in state court would qualify as a
claim under101(5)(b). His remedy in state court seems to be equitable, i.e
getting an order to sell. If she doesnt comply, are there monetary damages
available to bf? I am not sure how his damages would be measured, as her
ability to sell is highly speculative.
It seems to me the remedy he would want from her is either cooperation in
doing a short sale or damages. If she doesnt comply, then he would have
the right to a monetary damage claim which is a claim under 101(5)(b) and
therefore dischargeable.
