A Partition Action ¶ is more often than not, in my experience, averted because the announced plan of any joint or partial owner, to file a PA is usually enough to force all other owners to the table.
I can think of a dozen or more co-ownership properties that I’ve been involved with that were unwound when one of the owners announced his determination to file a PA…and in most of these, one or more of the co-owners ended up buying out their co-owners
In Massachusetts: 1.) What are reasons against filing a Petition to Partition? 2.) Can a Partition Lawsuit be ‘blocked’? 3.) What are the typical (monetary) costs altogether?

Any partial interest owner, in any state, has right to file suit for partition, if parties can’t come to a settlement through the normally court ordered mandatory mediation.

Thanks! But my concern really is not getting to deep (monetarily) into a partition lawsuit then it suddenly fails due to some pitfall/technicality that may have been averted ahead of time if the information was previously understood/known about.
