I Bought A House With My Partner (we're Unmarried), Now We've Split Up. They Don't Want To Sell The House, But I Do

Location: NV, USA

I funded the down payment, we both split the mortgage payments 50/50. Both names are on the title and loan.

We've owned the house for 4 years

They want to buy me out by doing a cash-out/refinance and give me back my down payment, while they keep all the equity and the house. My name gets removed from the loan and it's solely in their name moving forward

They refuse to sell, and say that if we do sell, the proceeds get split 50/50 and then I get even less money to walk away. Says they are entitled to half the down payment, too, even though I funded it. Is this true for the state of Nevada?

I think I should get my down payment and half the equity, because that's fair and reasonable

This person has become increasingly verbally abusive and is making threats towards me and basically anyone I talk to about this, saying I "owe them the money" because I chose to end the relationship

I'm scared of this person, I need some guidance on what to do or what kind of lawyer I should hire. Seems like legal help is in my best interest

What kind of attorney should I seek?

EDIT: I wanted to avoid putting number in the post, but I'll add this for clarity:

Current value = $930k

Balance owed = $540k

My down payment = $250k

I want my $250k plus a portion or half of the increased equity if possible
