The house.  A hot topic during divorce.

And for good reason; it's the house where you made lots of memories, especially if you have children together.  But since the house is likely an asset that you have as a couple, now that you are divorcing, it's an asset that will need to be divided. 

So, what the hell should you do with the house??

If you've been googling:

"Can I keep my house in my divorce?"

"How can I figure out how much my house is worth?"

"Do I have to split my house with my ex husband/wife?"

Then this episode is for you!

Let's break this down into three steps that you can take to help you through "the house" process:

1- Determine the value (either by getting it appraised or by getting a CMA- listen to the episode to learn what CMA stands for!)

 

2- Have a better understanding of what the court would decide to do with the house should you and your ex not reach a conclusion together (you will rely on your attorney heavily here)

 

3- Be prepared to negotiate with your ex. Kind of goes without saying, but keep in mind that house is something that can be used as leverage at some point in your divorce process.

 

It's really difficult for a lot of us to view something as personal as our home as part of a business transaction, but that's exactly why we felt that this episode is so important. 

And stay tuned for part 2 of "The House" where we are going to give you some pro tips on what you can do if your wish is to keep the house!
