Divorce and separation can be an emotional and challenging time, with important financial decisions to make.

How Finance Brokers can help you in times of need
By taking the time to understand your circumstances, priorities and future goals, we can develop a clear roadmap tailored to your needs. From refinancing and loan restructuring to future borrowing opportunities, we’ll guide you through the lending considerations and help you explore the options available.
You may be wondering whether you can afford to keep the home, whether you need to refinance, or what happens if you decide to sell.
Understanding your options - make informed decisions for your next steps.
Understanding Your Joint Mortgage
If your home loan is in both names, you’ll need to work out what happens next.
Your options may include:
- One person keeping the home and taking over the mortgage.
- Selling the property and dividing the proceeds as agreed through your property settlement.
- Exploring other financial arrangements that suit your circumstances
Important: If both names are on the mortgage, separating does not automatically remove either person from the loan. You’ll need to speak with your lender about your options.
Keeping the Family Home
If you want to stay in the family home, you may need to refinance the mortgage into your name alone.
Your lender will look at your income, living expenses, debts and overall financial position to determine whether you can afford the loan on your own.
A mortgage broker can help you understand your borrowing capacity and explore what may be possible before you make any big decisions.
Selling the Property
Sometimes, selling the family home may be the best option for both parties.
If you decide to sell, the mortgage and any other relevant costs will generally need to be paid from the sale proceeds. The remaining amount can then be dealt with as part of your property settlement.
It’s important to understand your financial position and seek appropriate legal advice before making decisions about how the proceeds will be divided.
Exploring Your Refinancing Options
If you’re hoping to keep the home or purchase another property after separation, refinancing may be worth exploring.
A lender will assess your financial circumstances to determine how much you may be able to borrow.
