§ 39.440. When unequal partition is ordered, compensation to be made on account of inequality
When it appears that partition cannot be made equal between the parties, according
to their respective rights, without prejudice to the rights and interest of some of
them, and a partition be ordered by judgment, the court may adjudge compensation to
be made by one party to another, on account of the inequality of partition; but such
compensation shall not be required to be made to others by owners unknown, nor by
infants, unless in case of an infant it appears that the infant has personal property
sufficient for that purpose, and that the infant’s interests will be promoted thereby.
