I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Mahmood from Wildings Solicitors for the purchase of my home, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful throughout the entire process. They ensured everything went smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. Their dedication and professionalism made a significant difference, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work.

Farzana, the receptionist, was exceptionally efficient and friendly. Soyod, our solicitor, dealt with what needed to be done in a timely fashion and made sure we had copies of what had been completed. I was very pleased with the service and will use this branch again for future needs.

What Happens to the Family Home in a Divorce?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as the court's priority is a fair outcome based on your family's specific circumstances. We will explain your options and help you negotiate the best solution for you and your children.

Selling and Dividing the Equity

This is the most common and straightforward option. The property is sold, the mortgage is paid off, and the remaining equity is divided between you as part of the overall financial settlement.

Discuss Your Options

One Partner Buys the Other Out

One partner can buy the other's share of the property. This involves a formal valuation and a 'transfer of equity' process, allowing one person to remain in the home.

Discuss a Buy-Out

Deferring the Sale (Mesher Order)

In some cases, especially where young children are involved, the court can order for the sale of the house to be postponed until a 'trigger event', such as the youngest child turning 18.

Questions About Divorce and Property

Do we have to sell the house when we divorce?

No, not necessarily. Selling is a common option to release equity, but other solutions include one partner buying the other out, or deferring the sale until a later date. The right choice depends on your specific financial situation and the needs of any children.

What if the house is in my ex-partner's sole name?

If the property was the 'matrimonial home' (i.e., you lived in it together as a married couple), it will almost certainly be considered a matrimonial asset to be shared, regardless of whose name is on the deeds. You will have a claim to a share of its value.

Who pays the mortgage during our separation?

Until a legal agreement or court order is in place, both parties named on the mortgage remain jointly liable for the payments. It is crucial to reach an interim agreement on who will pay to protect your credit ratings and prevent repossession.
