Tips for Keeping the House
The following tips can help you understand the basics of keeping ownership of your house following your divorce:
- If possible, talk to your spouse. Explaining how important the house is to you and discussing what you’re willing to relinquish in order to keep it can go a long way in coming out of the divorce with your house.
- Present alternate housing options for your spouse. You can help your cause by discussing your spouse’s options and showing compassion and a willingness to help.
- Establish need. Often, the spouse who can prove that he or she needs the home will be awarded it following a divorce. Getting custody of the children, having a nearby job, or establishing another strong case for need can help your chances.
While these tips do not ensure that you will get the house, knowing the basics can help strengthen your case.
