Divorce and separation entail various complications – some are easier to navigate than others. But one area divorcing couples often get stuck on is their mortgage. Who pays what? Is a mortgage something that needs splitting? What happens if one of you has moved out?
The way mortgages work on divorce depends on how the property is owned, and then how you and your ex are willing to move forward post-separation.
In this Stowe talks webinar, host and Stowe Family Law Partner Ashley Le-Core is joined by Miranda Hickey, Mortgage Adviser at Meet Margo – the mortgage brokerage on a mission to help more women overcome the barriers to homeownership. Together, they’ll unpack the realities of mortgages during divorce and share expert guidance to help you understand your options.
Miranda will explore:
· How mortgages work in divorce
· How lenders work out mortgage affordability
· Transferring the family home into a sole name
· The importance of professional advice to navigate the practical and emotional strains
