Your Options at a Glance
One Spouse Keeps the Home
If one spouse wants to stay, they can buy out the other’s equity share. This requires refinancing the mortgage into one name only.
Sell & Start Fresh
Listing the home allows both parties to receive their equity share in cash and move forward independently with a clean financial slate.
Co-Own Temporarily
Some couples choose to co-own the home for a period — often until children finish school — with a deferred sale agreement.
