Division of home post-separation

It is not easy to find housing for both ex-partners after the end of a relationship. In fact, it is very difficult for many people to find another home. Therefore, there is a strong interest in determining who stays in the home and who leaves the home and when.

Fortunately, this is usually resolved by mutual agreement. Sometimes ex-partners stay together a little longer until alternative housing becomes available or one of the ex-partners stays with friends or family temporarily. If mutual consultation fails, Law Firm Elbertse can help ex-partners to come to an arrangement about the house. If necessary, by requesting a court ruling.

Keep in mind that additional arrangements about the house may be required. With a rental agreement, in some cases, the landlord must give the permission to modify the lease. In the case of an owner-occupied home, the release from joint and several liability for the mortgage, the buyout and the distribution via the notary must be arranged.
