Re: Tough economy hurts divorce trades
If they own a condo together and it can't sell at all, the party not living in it, can't get out of the debt.

Re: Tough economy hurts divorce trades
If you don't have a house or large assets to divide it's not as big a deal. People also take all of one asset and none of another. For instance she keeps all her retirement and he keeps the house.
Oh I was too busy to comment earlier.

No, but I think what they are saying is now it's easier to just stay together rather than have to have two places to live, two sets of utilities, etc.
Actually, it shows they might have some compassion - - not wanting to throw out the unemployed one, etc.

So if the primary asset is the house, the tricky one is to divide the liabilities.

Or the employed one risks a layoff.

Actually you can get a divorce and continue to live together in many states. Living separate and apart in DC, is understood as not living as husband and wife but more like roommates.

Well, that would work logistically, but in most cases I don't think it would be ideal - lol!
