Can I be wrote up for insubordination?

My boss and I had a TEXTING
disagreement off the clock at 10pm
at night away from the work place
and she now wants to write me up
for insubordination.

Actually, so long as this co-owner's name remains on the deed, there isn't really much that you can do to remove them from the premises. This is true whether or not they have contributed to the mortgage (or any other) payments or not. At this point, you could file for a partition of the property which will result in its being ordered sold (if that's what you want). That is about your only recourse here.

The fact is that an employer can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). This means that a worker can be disciplined for any reason or no reason at all. Accordingly, unless this action violates the terms of a union agreement or employment contract, you have no claim here.
