Divorce Buyout Refinancing Explained

  

 

It's a sobering fact that nearly 50% of married couples will decide to go their separate ways each year. But what happens when there's jointly owned real estate involved? And what if that home has a mortgage on it as well? What's the process for one spouse "buying out" the other and how can any couple best plan for this division?

 

Obviously, a marital separation is stressful enough.  The short video below aims to make it a little less so, at least when it comes to understanding the home loan options.  Oh, and we rock some Frontiers-era Journey while we're at it...

Some really good info for homeowners going thru a difficult process. Do 50% of married couples divorce each year? Thought it was 50% of married couples eventually divorce, not divorce each year. Time to do some Googling. And nice guitar intro - saw Journey in concert a long time ago.

For good credibility, keep the old car, keep the old house and keep the original wife!

Thankfully there was no real estate to consider when I got a divorce and I won't be doing that again.
