Ep. 36 - Options to Handle the House During Divorce with Blake Watson

Understanding your options for the house when undergoing divorce is a significant challenge. Often, we make the decision on whether to keep or sell the house based on our emotions. Perhaps it is where the kids are living or where they grew up and you have a sentimental attachment, or maybe you are determined not to let your spouse keep it out of spite. The most important thing to know is there are major ramifications to your decision - from an asset allocation standpoint, tax implications, and future outlays for ongoing maintenance, insurance and taxes. 

Listen in as Blake Watson, a licensed realtor and author of the book, “The Complete Guide to Buying a Home,” “A Guide to Selling  Your Home After Divorce, ” and host of “Let’s Talk Chattanooga Real Estate” podcast shares:

• When the divorce bomb has gone off, and couples turn to what is often the most highly valued asset - the house - the first steps they should take.

• The five options for the house in divorce.

• Important considerations before deciding to keep the house.

• If you keep the house, how to protect that asset in the event you remarry in the future.
