The family home is an especially difficult consideration. In most instances, your home represents more than just a roof over your head. For many, there are emotional ties, fond memories, and feelings of security. And the world around you assumes that in a divorce, the winner takes the home and the loser moves out. But, while the home represents so much emotionally, it may not be the best asset for your financial security. There are factors that need to be evaluated. What is the outstanding mortgage? Will your postdivorce income cover the costs to run your home? If you need to sell the home, what are the associated selling costs? Consider these factors, and discuss them with your experts when developing your postdivorce financial plan.
