Frequently Asked Questions
How is the marital home divided in Alabama?
Alabama follows equitable distribution laws, meaning the property is divided fairly, not
necessarily equally.
Can I keep the marital home after divorce?
Yes, but you may need to refinance the mortgage and buy out your spouse's share.
How do we decide the sale price of our home?
A comparative market analysis (CMA) by a real estate agent can help determine a fair price.
Can I keep the marital home if I am the custodial parent?
Courts often favor awarding the marital home to the custodial parent to maintain stability for
the children, but financial feasibility is also considered.
What happens if we cannot agree on selling the house?
If an agreement cannot be reached, the court may order the sale of the home and divide the
proceeds.
Who pays for repairs and staging when selling the marital home?
Both parties typically share these costs unless otherwise agreed upon, or unless the court
orders otherwise.
How does divorce affect my credit score?
Joint debts and missed payments during the divorce process can negatively impact credit
scores.
Can I sell the house without my ex-spouse’s consent?
If the property is considered marital property, you will need the consent of your ex-spouse to
sell due to Alabama’s homestead laws, which allow the spouse that’s not on the deed and
mortgage to claim an interest in the primary residence.
How long does it take to sell a home during a divorce??
The timeline depends on market conditions, the home’s condition, and the level of
cooperation between spouses.
What role does a real estate agent play in divorce cases?
A real estate agent can act as a neutral party to mediate disputes, coordinate sales efforts,
and provide market expertise.

Absolutely. We can assist with valuations, consultations, and expert advice while working alongside your legal team.
