Unfortunately, nearly 50% of marriages end in divorce.  One of the most difficult elements in anydivorce is what to do with the marital home.  Does one party buy out the other?  Will the property need to be sold? These are difficult decisions that require a candid assessment of:

  1. Anticipated post-divorce finances for each party
  2. The desire to make a fresh start
  3. The desire for stability
  4. The state of the market
  5. Other living arrangements that may be possible
