Making Informed Housing Choices After Divorce
The marital home often represents both financial security and emotional comfort. But divorce creates complex scenarios: refinancing challenges, contingent liabilities, and questions about whether to assume or release a mortgage. By working with a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP), you gain clarity on your true options and avoid costly mistakes.
From understanding how lenders view support income to navigating the complexities of mortgage assumptions, the right guidance ensures your decisions are legally sound and financially sustainable. Addressing these issues before your settlement agreement is finalized puts you in control, rather than leaving your housing future to chance.
