Mortgages & Divorce

How much of a mortgage will you qualify for and will you be able to afford it?

Every situation is different, but he process is the same for all. We need to discover what stage you are at in the divorce process.

• What will your likely income be when things are finally settled (support payable? support receivable? etc.).
• What equity or down payment will you likely end up with?
• What does your credit rating look like?
• Do you have a credit rating?
• What is your job and how long have you worked there?

These questions all have to be answered as best we can in order to come up with a plan for you. Initially, it will be based on several assumptions. When all variables are finally known, we will have to revisit the assumptions we have made together to make sure what amount of mortgage you will qualify for. At the outset, often the best we can do is project what we think the final picture will look like. Your lawyer will often help us with these projections for equity and income matters.
