Divorce awards question
| Tue, 08-26-2008 - 2:22pm |
If I am awarded the house, how will that work? Do I have to re-finance in my name and continue with the mortgage? Does he continue to pay for it? I am currently unemployed, we were married 23 years and have a minor child.
I'd love to know what your experiences have been on this issue.
TIA

It depends on each case. Normally the person who gets the house has to pay the mortgage. You would be unable to refinance if you don't have a job. whether he pays for it depends on how much money he makes. he has to pay child support and I assume that he will pay alimony since you have been married a long time & you don't work, but is that enough to cover the mortgage, taxes, etc.?
