GETTING SEPARATED IS NEVER EASY: learn how to move ahead with your living arrangements

ASIDE FROM THE EMOTIONS INVOLVED WITH A separation, there are several things to consider and act on relative to your current mortgage and home. The first important step is to finalize the separation and get an agreement together. This important document outlines how your assets will be divided and how other important financial decisions will made. A separation agreement is often a requirement to get a new mortgage as it outlines who will take over the home once the separation is complete and how child and spousal support will be handled. There will be two clear paths to take in your housing when you are separating from a spouse: 1. will you be buying a new property; or, 2. will you stay in the existing home? WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE BUYING A NEW PROPERTY? HERE ARE SOME CONSIDERATIONS: • Will you be keeping or selling the existing house? • What can you afford relative to your current financial situation? (getting pre-approved is essential and will help you with this decision) • Will one of you be coming off the title of your matrimonial home (should either of you keep the existing residence)? • How will you secure a down payment for the new property?

If you are the spouse who will be buying a new home, the most important aspect of moving forward is a mortgage pre-approval. Your financial circumstance has changed and you need to understand what you can now purchase on your own. Depending on the home and the mortgage that you will require your mortgage professional

“BY PUTTING YOUR MORTGAGE BROKER IN TOUCH WITH YOU LAWYER THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER TO FACILITATE...” needs to know what debts will be paid out from the separation and where the down payment will come from. Often times the down payment will come from the sale or a spousal buyout of the matrimonial home. If this is the case ensure that you have access to the money as it’s critical to have this money on the closing date of your purchase. IF YOU ARE STAYING AT THE EXISTING HOME THESE THINGS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED: • Can the equity in the property be used to consolidate joint liabilities? • Is there enough to provide a payout from the home if required?

If you’ve gone to your bank in the past, you may have encountered the limit that your bank will not refinance your home to more than 80% of its value. With a spousal separation homes can be refinanced to 95% of the value which can help you consolidate debt and provide the spousal buyout. This is simply done through an agreement of purchase and sale from one partner to another. This is not a program that’s unique to a mortgage lender, but is a program offered through the companies that provide default insurance (CMHC, Genworth and Canada Guarantee). We’ve helped many people build their new financial future sometimes from scratch. Often debts can be a dispute, but regardless of who pays the bills it’s important to maintain a good credit history. If your ex. decides not to pay some of the credit cards or lines of credit on time it will have a negative effect on your credit history and will affect your ability to get good mortgage financing. A mortgage professional can work in partnership with your lawyer to help navigate whatever scenario you’re in. By putting your mortgage broker in touch with you lawyer they can work together to facilitate how to move forward with your living arrangements. Please contact us if you need help navigating this often difficult situation. We have the experience and expertise to move you ahead with your new life.
