🏠 Thinking of Buying a House Before Your Divorce is Final?
It might seem like a fresh start, but buying a home before your divorce is officially wrapped up can create major headaches down the line.
👉 In many states, a house you buy before the divorce is final could still be considered marital property. That means your soon-to-be ex might have a claim on it—yikes.
👉 It could also complicate your mortgage approval. Many lenders want your divorce finalized first so they can clearly see what debts and obligations you’ll have.
✅ Bottom line: It might be smarter (and a lot less stressful) to wait until everything is settled.
If you’re navigating big life changes and wondering when the right time is to buy, let’s connect. We’ll walk through your options so your next move is a confident one.
