A home is usually the biggest shared asset in a marriage. However, during a divorce the decision on what to do with the home falls to you and your spouse, since the house that you bought with your spouse cannot physically be split in two. If you and your spouse cannot come to an agreement, the presiding judge in court will decide for you. Based on fact and law, a judge will make a determination without considering you and your spouse’s wishes and neither of you may receive a desirable outcome.
By valuing harmony over conflict and focusing on your interests, real estate mediation may be the solution to help you achieve the best result.
