You have to force the sale to get your name off the title and the note anyway.

Nah. A refi can get the same result. I'm twice as experienced in this department than most of you.

Yeah, true, but most people can't afford what they live in without two incomes, which is where I was coming from.

Property settlement effects the mortgage, not the note. Many people don't pay because of a settlement, then get sued. A refi will correct the note (remove the ex-spouse), but the lawyer may require the ex-spouse to sign a document giving up claim to the property. It depends on the settlement.

See that’s where you come in. “Maintain the lifestyle in which she is accustomed to.”

Still a pain in the arse esp if you’re refinancing to a higher interest rate. Add to that, having to pay off the other their half of the equity it can be a pretty big financial burden to stay in a ‘cursed’ house.

I stayed in the house and just refinanced mine after property settlement. Went from 2% something interest to 6%. My house note went up $150 a month.

Luckily I had a stupid ex and a good lawyer. We went almost 7 years after divorce before my ex finally showed up for property settlement. That was 7 years of house payments that the ex was responsible for half of (around $50k). That ate up most of the equity she would've received.

Her lawyer messed up and forgot to ask for 7 years of fair market value rental rate in order to offset the mortgage payments that I made.

SOOO many people have no idea this is a thing when they vacate their house (name is on the mortgage) during separation/divorce.

I've gone a bit of admiration over time for you Baws that have been able to weather that storm. Ain't no way I could fathom trying to raise my kids from afar.


I've put myself through some tough hells and some low of lows and have bounced back but not sure how I couldn't imagine getting through that

don't blame the 'house' because you turned a blind eye to the plethora of red flags thrown from the heifer before you put a ring on it

I stayed in my house, and am still in my house today. I like where I live. And I like my neighbors. I feel safe there, plus I have an outdoor kitchen and pool, and a fairly good size yard for living in a neighborhood.

If my ex wanted out, and she did, she needed to be the one that was going to be inconvenienced, not me. It was as simple as that for me.

Thank you. I have my faults, but today more than ever, I am intentionally grateful and treat people with respect, as long as I feel there is respect coming from them as well.

I no longer worry about my ex-wife. She's the mother to our children, and she's always done a great job with that. I don't care about her personal life and the choices she has made or continues to make. It's better this way. I wish good health and wealth, but I don't want a friendship with her. She made that choice for us when she left.

Exactly what I did. I kept the stable environment for my kids. There was no way she was going to be able to keep the house payments. It would have foreclosed in a year's time.

So many men let that one slide. For those that don't know, if your name is still on the mortgage in the time between separating and property settlement, you're entitled to half of the rent value.

Example: Zero balance on mortgage. If the ex stays in the house, and houses in the neighborhood are renting for $3000, you're entitled to half of that, $1500 per month.
