── Christopher L Blagburn v. Sally Jo Schwartz ── Case No.: 23A-MI-01374 Court: Indiana Court of Appeals Date: March 12, 2024 Author: Judge Leanna Weissmann County of Origin: Hancock Category: Civil Decision: Affirmed Judge Altice and Judge Kenworthy concur From 2015 to 2020, Schwartz and Blagburn were in a romantic relationship. During this time, the two acquired several properties together, including two houses and a vacant lot. When their relationship ended, Schwartz moved under Indiana’s partition statutes to sell the properties without Blagburn’s approval.1 The partition action quickly stalled. Although Blagburn agreed that partition was proper, he objected to doing so until the trial court had determined the amount of equity each side had in each property.
