True

Explanation:

Partition is the act of dividing a parcel of property by physical division so that each party obtains physical control, possession and ownership of a portion of the property that he or she formerly owned as a member in a co-tenancy. So if it's not possible to divide this property physically by kind, then selling it and sharing the proceed equally is the next best option for the court.
