When a divorce involves the division of property, it can be challenging for both spouses to decide what to do with the family home. In some cases, neither spouse may have the financial means or desire to keep the property. In such situations, it is often recommended to put the property up for sale in order to get the best possible price.

In these situations obtaining early advice and the services of a Sydney Family Law Specialist Lawyer is highly recommended.

Sell The Property

While the process of selling a home during a divorce can be difficult, it is often the easiest and most practical solution. It can be challenging for both parties to move out of a shared property, but the financial benefits of selling the home and splitting the proceeds can outweigh the emotional attachment. Additionally, it can be easier to divide cash from the sale of a property than to divide a property that may be difficult to maintain or holds painful memories from the divorce.

We will work with you to understand your unique situation and develop a strategy that is tailored to your needs.

Buy Out Your Partner’s Share

A property buyout is a common solution during a divorce when one spouse has no interest in retaining ownership of the family home or property. It typically involves one spouse paying the other for their share of the property. This can occur when the spouse seeking child custody wishes to remain in the home, or if one spouse cannot afford to keep the property on their own.

Navigating the complexities of a property buyout can be challenging, and it is essential to have the right legal representation to advocate for your interests.

Co-ownership

In some cases, a property buyout or sale may not be the best option during a divorce. In such instances, co-ownership of the property can be considered as an alternative solution. Co-ownership involves both parties maintaining ownership of the property for a specific period of time, which is outlined in a legally binding agreement. This agreement should be drafted and reviewed by a divorce attorney to ensure that all details are considered and covered.

Co-ownership of property during a divorce can have several benefits. Both parties will have a business-like relationship with the property and will agree on how to use and share the proceeds of the property. Additionally, both parties will still have an entitlement to their share of the property.
