Experienced Newport Family Law Attorney Representing Rhode Island Residents
The real estate market has been in a steady decline for years, leaving many individuals and couples struggling financially. Some couples are finding themselves wanting to get divorced but believing that they cannot due to the fact that they cannot sell their home or their home is "underwater" on a mortgage. There is hope, as there may be options for dealing with your divorce and real estate situation.

We work with clients to help them understand the various ways we can deal with your real estate situation while moving forward with the divorce. Some ways can include:
- Refinancing with or without a subordination agreement
- Delayed pay out of an equitable distribution
- Family borrowing to reduce a mortgage balance to allow for a refinance
- Overloading of retirement or other benefits to one person while the other retains home equity
- Filing for bankruptcy to deal with the family home debt
- Continued joint ownership for a period of time with agreements regarding future shared expenses for the structure of major systems of the home
Remaining Together May Not Be Best
Many experts have stated that a couple who decides to remain together when they would rather be divorced may not understand the full impact that this may have on their children. Children model themselves from watching their parents — and watching parents who have difficulties communicating, or do not communicate, do not eat together or overall do not lead happy married lives can give children a dysfunctional impression of marriage. If you are staying together simply for convenience or other reasons, such as you cannot sell your home, we can help you explore your options for dealing with the issues and dissolving the marriage in order to keep the best interests of the children in mind.
