Can one spouse force the sale of a McClellanville home?

Forcing a sale usually requires going to court and asking a judge to order what is called a partition action, which applies when co-owners cannot agree on selling or dividing jointly held property. It is a last resort because it is slower and more expensive than a negotiated listing. For a McClellanville property, Brian and a real estate attorney can usually find a listing agreement both spouses accept before it reaches that point.
