Real Estate in a Divorce Action

Real estate is often one of the more valuable assets that you posses. It can be a primary residence, a vacation home and or an investment property. This property can be in a different state or country. It can be important for your children's schooling or to a business that your family has.

Deciding how to deal with real estate in a divorce is one of the more important decisions that will be made.

Here are some of the questions that arise for each property.

• Can this property be considered separate property for the purpose of the divorce?
• What are the options for us with this property?
• Is there a mortgage and how will that effect what happens with the property?
• How do children figure into what happens with this property?
• How is the property titled and how does that effect me?
  
• Why does it matter who maintains or manages the property?
