The homestead may be partitioned among the respective owners of the property in the same manner as other property held in common if:
(1) the surviving spouse dies, sells his or her interest in the homestead, or elects to no longer use or occupy the property as a homestead; or
(2) the court no longer permits the guardian of the minor children to use and occupy the property as a homestead.
