Selling Your House During a Divorce 

Selling Your House During a Divorce 

Are you thinking about selling your house during a divorce in Montgomery, Texas?  Selling your house is the last thing you want to think about during a divorce. It’s emotionally and financially draining. It can also be more complicated because of the Standard Family Law Restraining Orders that go into effect as soon as a divorce petition is filed. 

Important Questions to Consider When Selling Your House During a Divorce

• Will the selection of the real estate professional be a mutual one? Will one spouse provide the other with a list to choose from or will there be another way to choose one?
• How will the price be set? Will it be up to the real estate professional subject to the approval of the spouses?
• How will the price be reduced, if necessary?
• Will one spouse be the lead in all communications with the real estate professional or will every discussion and decision have to go through both spouses?
• Will both spouses need to formally approve all offers, counteroffers, and acceptances?
• Which spouse will ensure the home is ready for showing to prospective buyers? Will the home be shown even if neither spouse is present?
• Is there an agreed dollar amount that, if offered, will result in an acceptance of an offer, or will the spouses have the ability to negotiate any price?
• Are there liens or encumbrances other than the mortgage that needs to be paid from the sale proceeds? Are they undisputed as a community or separate property and, therefore, from whose share they will be paid?
• What will happen to the sale proceeds? Will it be distributed to the parties, in whole or in part? Will it be characterized in the stipulation and order as community property, separate property, or will that characterization be reserved for the court to determine later?
• Are there reimbursement claims by either spouse, such as one resulting from a separate property down payment that can lead to Family Code 2640 claims?”
