Topic:
Keep the House or Sell It? Untangling the Financial Reality of Divorce and Your Home

Divorce forces a lot of high-stakes decisions, and few carry as much long-term weight as what happens to the family home. Should you keep it? Sell it? Can you even qualify for a mortgage on your own? These questions can feel overwhelming, especially in the middle of an abusive divorce where clarity and stability already feel hard to come by.

Join me and Karla Kyte for this month's free Lunch & Learn, where we'll untangle the financial reality behind one of divorce's most emotionally loaded decisions: what to do with the house.

Karla brings nearly 30 years of mortgage lending experience to this conversation. As founder of My Divorce Mortgage Planning and a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®), she works alongside attorneys, mediators, financial professionals, and divorce coaches to help clients understand what's legally possible versus what's actually mortgage-lendable — before settlement agreements are finalized, not after. Her goal is to help protective parents avoid costly surprises and make informed decisions that protect their financial future.

In this session, we'll explore:

•       The real difference between what a divorce decree allows and what a lender will approve

•       Tax implications tied to keeping or selling the marital home

•       How to plan ahead so housing decisions don't become financial landmines later

•       Questions to bring to your attorney, mediator, or financial team before you sign anything

This Lunch & Learn is designed for protective parents navigating divorce, custody, and co-parenting with an abusive ex-partner, along with the professionals who support them. You don't have to make these decisions in the dark, and you don't have to make them alone.
