Sometimes We Just Need Some Help…

We can’t fix the divorce.

We can, however, help with real estate issues surrounding divorce.

First, before you do anything, say anything, promise anything take a step back and consider your options. Most of the time, the emotions run high, and it’s easy to make a decision you’ll later regret.

As an example, in Missouri, be wary of purchasing a new home before the divorce is settled. That new home (if purchased while you are still married) becomes community property – and now becomes an asset in the divorce.

Also – signing off your rights to a property does not automatically disolve you from the responsibility of making sure the mortgage gets paid.  If your name is on the mortgage, you could still be legally responsible for payment. And if your ex doesn’t make the payments they promise they are going to make – your credit could be affected!

We work together with your attorney to determine the best course of action regarding your home.  If sale before the divorce is final, we work as as the voice of reason between you and your spouse. Every situation is different.  And the rules are different between states.  Click on the photo to download our free booklet regarding real estate and divorce.

It doesn’t take much to fall behind on a mortgage.  An illness, job loss, death or divorce – any one of those can be catastrophic to your budget. A recent study shows 40% of Americans are one paycheck away from poverty.

Just because you fall behind, doesn’t mean you can’t catch up. Most in this situation do not know or understand that they had options. Foreclosure should ALWAYS be a last resort. Loan modifications, payment plans and short sales are among the possible solutions, as well as a traditional sale of the home.
