Divorce Real Estate FAQ<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Can I buy a new home if I\u2019m still listed on the previous mortgage?” icon_color=”#595959″ toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Yes, but it can be difficult to purchase another home until your divorce is final. In most situations involving child support and alimony, the payments must be received for a specific time period before you can use it as qualifying income. If you are still listed as a co-borrower on the mortgage for the prior home, many mortgage programs will allow you to qualify while excluding that debt. We will connect you to an experienced lender who can give you the best advice for your unique situation.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What happens to my current home?” icon_color=”#595959″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

If you and your spouse own a home, there are two main routes you can take to reach a solution. You can sell the home and split the proceeds, or one person can \u201cbuy out\u201d the other by refinancing the mortgage. Sitting down and discussing these options will help you get on the same page and minimize friction.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How does a divorce impact my credit score?” icon_color=”#595959″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” open_toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for many, divorce is a time of great financial hardship and credit challenges. Because you are responsible for the mortgage until it is paid in full or refinanced, it is imperative that you remain current on the monthly payments. We can discuss further whether refinancing or selling is a better option for your situation and come up with a plan.<\/p>\n
