Assisting San Diego's family law attorneys, mediators, and divorcing homeowners in navigating the obstacles of today's real estate market.
The divorce rate in California currently stands at 72%, and San Diego's housing market is known for its high prices. The decision of whether or not to sell a family home during a divorce is a major financial consideration. There are various factors that can determine what the best course of action is for each individual couple. It's essential to carefully consider all of the financial implications associated with selling vs. keeping the house and to work with a qualified real estate agent and attorney to determine the best path forward.
In California divorce cases, selling the family home is often necessary as it is one of the most valuable assets. Choosing not to sell can be a risky decision for divorcing homeowners and can potentially lead to disastrous financial consequences in the future. If one spouse decides to keep the house after a divorce, both parties are exposed to significant and adverse financial risks such as liens, clouded title, mortgage or consumer credit decline, default, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and other post-divorce financial issues that can negatively impact their standard of living. Ultimately, every situation is unique, and it's important to weigh all of the options carefully before making any final decisions.
