Answer:
Market Value
Less Mortgage
Less 1/2 of Principal payments made on the mortgage
Less 1/2 of any taxes or maintenance paid
This would mean you paid the full payment on the mortgage but only get credit for the principal.
If you do not have the money to buy the co-tenant out you might try to refinance as part of the purchase from the co-tenant.
