§ 943. Judgment directing compensation to equalize partition. Where
it appears that partition cannot be made equal between the parties
according to their respective rights without prejudice to the rights or
interests of some of them, the final judgment may award compensation to
be made by one party to another for equality of partition. But
compensation cannot be so awarded against a party who is unknown or
whose name is unknown. Nor can it be awarded against an infant unless it
appears that he has personal property sufficient to pay it and that his
interests will be promoted thereby.
