Divorce can raise a lot of questions, especially when it comes to your home. One of the big ones is: Can you refinance your home after a divorce?

As collaborative divorce professionals, we have seen how this process can be smoother and more amicable than a court-litigated divorce.

Being honest about your finances during divorce sets the stage for a more amicable separation. A financial neutral can help both partners understand their situation clearly, even if one hasn’t been the primary earner or financial manager. The collaborative divorce approach offers privacy and fosters mutual agreements…
