Divorce Preparation

Frisco | Plano | McKinney | Allen | Denton

Preparing for divorce can be tricky. One of the questions you will have to answer once your mind is made up that you want a divorce, or once your spouse has requested a divorce, is whether you should remain in the house or move out. (For other issues and preparations regarding divorce, please visit our No Legal Separation: How to Prepare for a Divorce page.)

Experienced Frisco Lawyer for Divorce and Moving Out of the Marital Home

Until you consult an attorney, you definitely should not move out of the house unless you are being threatened with physical harm or are in fear for your life or health.

Leaving the home could jeopardize your interest in the home during property distribution. A judge may consider who has physical possession of the home and who has been paying the mortgage when allocating property during a divorce. If you must leave the home because of your situation, make sure you continue to make mortgage payments as you did prior to leaving and that those payments are well-documented.

If you have children (especially children who are still in school), then you will want to remain in the home to have a better chance at securing the home and physical custody of the children in a divorce. Leaving the home may have an adverse affect.

Of course, the results of any given situation depend on a number of factors, many of which may be unique to your case. For that reason, you will want to retain experienced counsel from a Texas divorce lawyer.
