What to do with the mortgage when you get divorced?
The mortgage is usually the largest expense a couple shares. When there is a separation, you have several options:
🏠💶 Sell your home: If you decide to sell, the mortgage will be cancelled with the money obtained from the sale. This way, everyone can start over without joint debts.
⚖️📄 One person keeps the house: The person who stays in the house will have to assume the entire mortgage. This involves renegotiating with the bank, which will review whether this person has enough income to pay it alone. This process is not automatic and may involve associated expenses such as taxes, notary fees or management fees.
📉🏡 To terminate a condominium: This is a widely used option when one of the two people keeps the property. The bank must accept it, but this allows one person to be removed from the mortgage without having to take out a new one. It is necessary to calculate the costs of this operation carefully and ensure that the person who keeps the home can make the payments.
Every debt in its place
What about other common debts?
Aside from the mortgage, it is common for a couple to share personal loans, credit cards, or even checking accounts. In a divorce, these debts do not disappear.
🤝 Agreed distribution: You can agree on who assumes which debt, as long as it is reflected in the divorce agreement.
⚖️ Joint and several responsibility: Even if you agree between you who pays what, if you are both in the contract, the bank can claim against either of you.
For this reason, it is essential to review and reorganize the set of financial products you have in common. 🔍📊
With advice, everything has a solution
What happens if you can't pay the mortgage after divorce?
If after the divorce you can't afford the mortgage on your own, don't ignore the problem. There are solutions:
🤝 Renegotiate the conditions: The bank would rather charge less each month than stop charging. We can help you negotiate a more comfortable payment. Maybe you can extend the term or switch to a lower installment for a few years.
🔍 Search for a new mortgage loan: At Dart Molins we analyze your situation and look for alternatives that best fit your new economic reality. In some cases, we may even consider subrogation or debt consolidation.
🏘️ Rent the house: If you cannot sell or bear the cost, one option may be to rent out the house to cover part or all of the monthly payment.
Separate without missing opportunities
How does divorce affect your financial capacity?
After a divorce, your financial capacity changes. You go from having joint income to relying solely on your own. Furthermore, if you continue to be listed as a co-owner on a mortgage or debt, this can affect your creditworthiness with banks.
