Don’t Make a Decision About Your House Before You Have All the Facts
The family home is probably one of the biggest assets you and your husband own. And it carries with it a lot of emotions.
Maybe it is your dream house. The property you put your heart and soul into renovating. You brought your babies home from the hospital to this place. You raised a family here and had so many happy memories over the years.
Or maybe there are big financial considerations. How will you afford a different house? Maybe renting will cost you more than this house.

Maybe it is your dream house. The property you put your heart and soul into renovating. You brought your babies home from the hospital to this place. You raised a family here and had so many happy memories over the years.
Or maybe there are big financial considerations. How will you afford a different house? Maybe renting will cost you more than this house.
You need to know your options.
It’s not just a simple matter of saying “I’m going to keep the house.” You have to know exactly what you’re getting yourself into financially, and how to ensure that your divorce negotiations are fair.
There are considerations related to your mortgage: Can you keep the current loan and interest rate? Will you have to refinance? Do you have to “buy out” your husband? What is the process for all of this?
Let me walk you through some of the most important things you need to know BEFORE you make your decision about the family home.
The sad fact is that women very often get bad financial settlements in their divorces. They get less than their fair share of the assets. The child support and alimony payments are less than they should be. Women are left struggling financially, while their ex-husbands continue to have extra money for all sorts of things.
The key to getting a better financial outcome in your divorce is knowledge. You need to know the facts about your family’s money and be educated on important considerations when you’re negotiating.
I know this feels overwhelming, but let me assure you that you are not alone. Many women facing divorce are in the same situation as you. And I have helped hundreds of them take back their power and get better financial settlements in their divorces. It starts with knowing more about your money and making a careful decision about the family home.
Dealing With the Mortgage Is Tricky
If one spouse is going to be keeping the house, something has to be done about the mortgage. You want to transfer the ownership of the house and the legal responsibility for the home loan to the spouse who is keeping the house. But how?
It’s not just a matter of the other spouse “signing off.” There are hoops you must jump through with a lender to assume the mortgage or refinance the current loan. Do you make enough money to afford the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and other home costs? Will a lender consider child support or alimony payments when calculating your income?
My resource, Keep or Give Up the HOUSE, explains all of these things and will get you on the right path toward making the best decision about the family home.
