Who Pays for What When You Separate


Divorce is already tough, but add in the decision of what to do with your house, and it's clear things can get even trickier. 🤔

Before diving into the selling process, there are some important steps to tackle:

1️⃣ Clarify Mortgage Obligations: Know who will be responsible for the mortgage going forward. Decide if one will keep the mortgage or if selling is the best move.

2️⃣ Split Responsibilities: Determine who pays for what. This includes mortgage, taxes, and maintenance costs. Clear agreement equals fewer surprises.

3️⃣ Communicate Openly: Keep communication lines open. Address concerns early to avoid misunderstandings down the road.

Working with couples in these situations has taught me to always approach each decision with empathy and understanding. Helping people move forward with confidence is why I love what I do. 🏡
