Should I Sell My House Before Or After Divorce?

We often hear ‘Can I sell my house before divorce?’. The answer depends on a variety of factors including whether you and your partner are on speaking terms. If you can discuss how to divide the assets from the house and are able to get a quick sale, it allows both parties to have cash to spend on their new ventures or a future property.

On the other hand, it can be useful selling a house after divorce if it allows you to both consider your options carefully and continue the divorce house sale process with a clearer mind.

However, be aware that one party may also be comfortable staying in the house which can cause difficulty later on if they are unwilling to sell.
