short sale decisions: Divorce....a Cause For Short Sales
- 06/21/09 02:27 AM
In the olden days, before we were married....there used to be three things that people would site as reasons for divorce...differences in religion, financial problems and infidelity. The economy has dealt many couples and families some financial challenges...and those things, it seems either strengthen a relationship or lead to it being broken beyond repair. In Wisconsin, you no longer site a specific reason...there is no finger pointing about who cheated...who didn't communicate...who failed to "love and honor"....it's a no fault state. The cause of divorce isn't blame...it takes two to make it and two to break it....so the cause is … (12 comments)

- 06/03/09 08:21 AM
With a part of our practice specializing in short sales, we meet people with all kinds of problems and all kinds of ways that they believe...usually incorrectly that will solve those problems. The best source for answers is not your mother, brother, sister, neighbor and sometimes not even professionals if they are not experienced in short sales and foreclosure.
