When a couple decides to end their marriage, it is only the beginning of a series of gut-wrenching challenges\u2014such as figuring out what to do with the marital home.<\/p>\n
Marital property, such as the house, must be legally divided during a divorce. If severe financial problems are a contributing factor to the couple\u2019s breakup, it is highly likely that house payments are overdue. The bank may be threatening the couple with foreclosure or may have already started the process.<\/p>\n
Splitting marital property is never easy when it comes to the house. Selling the family home may be out of the question for one spouse, while the other spouse can\u2019t wait to get their cash out of the home\u2019s equity. If both spouses can\u2019t agree about dividing real estate in their divorce property settlement, a judge may force a sale.<\/p>\n
If your ex partner gets your jointly owned house, your name is removed from the deed. But without refinancing, your name remains on the mortgage. And you continue to be responsible for any payments missed by your ex-spouse.<\/p>\n
