During a divorce, one of the most combative and problematic points to resolve is the question of what happens to the marital home. Whether both parties want ownership of the home, or neither wants to stay but cannot agree on how to divide assets, determining who gets the marital home is often complicated. During this vital time, you want to ensure you are backed with the legal knowledge, advocacy, and guidance of a family lawyer who will analyze the details of your case and provide accurate advice on what is best for you.
Though it may seem impossible, it is essential you do not make an emotional choice when it comes to keeping or letting go of the marital home. Our legal team at Beaulieu-Fawcett | Newell Law Group, P.A. almost always recommends divorcing individuals try to downsize as opposed to taking on the responsibility of sole ownership. While you understandably may feel attached to the home, you must remember there is a life to be had following the ending of your marriage. Even if you are the financial backer of the property, you may find it difficult to maintain the upkeep of the home, especially if your ex-spouse typically handled those responsibilities.
As a divorcing homeowner, you should consider the following questions:
- Can I afford to keep this house with only my income?
- If the house is sold, what will be my living situation? Can I find a new place to accommodate my children, job, etc.?
- If the house is sold, how will the income be arranged or split?
