DIVORCE HOUSE SENSE™ - Can You Keep Your Marital Home or Will You Have To Sell

DIVORCE HOUSE SENSE™ - Can You Keep Your Marital Home or Will You Have To Sell by Jeffrey A. Landers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Important but little-known facts...

In "DIVORCE HOUSE SENSE™ - Can You Keep Your Marital Home or Will You Have To Sell," Jeffrey Landers discusses the issue of keeping or selling a marital home during a divorce. The author explains that the decision to keep or sell the marital home depends on various factors, including financial considerations, emotional attachment, and practicality.

Whether or not you can keep the house you shared with your spouse depends a lot on your finances. If you have sufficient financial resources to afford the mortgage payments, property taxes, and maintenance costs, you may be able to keep the home. However, if the home is too expensive for you to maintain or you can't afford to buy out your spouse's share of the property, you may need to sell the home.

Emotional attachment to the marital home is another factor that influences the decision to keep or sell the property. If you have strong emotional ties to the home, it may be challenging to sell it. But it's important to think about whether the emotional connection is worth the cost of keeping the home.

Practicality is another consideration in deciding whether to keep or sell the marital home. For example, if you have children and want to maintain stability for them, keeping the home may be the best option. However, if you're planning to move to a different location or the home is too large for your needs, selling the property may be more practical.

During a divorce, deciding whether to keep or sell a marital home depends on many things, such as finances, emotional ties, and how practical it is. To make a good decision, you need to carefully consider each of these factors and get advice from a professional. This book will teach you important but little-known facts about keeping or selling your marital home after a divorce. Highly recommended.
