Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove my spouse's name from the mortgage without refinancing?

Yes, this can be done. However, the person remaining in the property must be able to afford the mortgage on their own. This is called a transfer of equity and must form part of the financial settlement agreement when finalising the divorce. If you are looking to raise funds for the settlement, this may need refinancing. 

How does selling the home work in a divorce?

When selling the home, the proceeds from the sale are used to pay off the existing mortgage, and any remaining equity is divided according to the divorce settlement. This can provide a clean financial break for both parties.

What is a buyout in a divorce mortgage context?

A buyout involves one spouse refinancing the mortgage in their name alone and paying the other spouse their share of the home’s equity. This allows one spouse to keep the home while the other receives their financial share.

What if I can’t qualify for a refinance on my own?

If you cannot qualify for a refinance on your own, consider:

Guarantor: Finding a guarantor to help you qualify.

Income Improvement: Working on increasing your income or reducing debt.

Lender Flexibility: Consulting with different lenders to find one with more flexible criteria.

How does a divorce affect my credit score?

A divorce itself doesn’t directly affect your credit score, but missed mortgage payments or other joint debts can. Ensuring all joint debts are paid on time and closing joint accounts can help protect your credit.

What if my spouse stops making mortgage payments?

Both parties are responsible for the mortgage until it is refinanced or sold, even if one spouse moves out. If your spouse stops making payments, you should make them to protect your credit and then seek legal recourse to address the issue.
