Collaborative Continuing Education CE/CLE Course: Divorce This HouseTM
Welcome to the Divorce This HouseTM Collaborative Continuing Education Council website.
MISSION: Our mission is to educate and empower others regarding the reality of joint real estate, including the pros & cons - technically the rights and responsibilities - of joint debt (especially joint mortgage), joint ownership, and true house equity - before & beyond house appraisal.
This information is especially critical per life changes such as: divorce, separation, job loss, illness/injury, death, foreclosure, or bankruptcy.
BOTTOM LINE re: Joint Real Estate: To protect yourself and your financial future, make sure you know what you owe, what you own, what you are getting into, what you are getting out of, and most importantly - what you may be getting stuck with ... before it's too late!
Our co-founder, Kelly Lise Murray, J.D., was a featured speaker at the American Bar Association Family Law Section Spring Meeting in New Orleans, LA April 16, 2010.
Our real estate continuing education classes for real estate and divorce professionals promote a collaborative approach to divorce real estate.
We leverage the expertise of divorce and real estate-related professionals (e.g. law, finance/tax, emotional/psychological with home inspection, home improvement, home staging, etc.) in the “best interest of the house” - and each divorcing spouse.

DIVORCING HOMEOWNERS
Break free from joint debt & joint ownership - especially re: your family house!
You may be divorced, but did you divorce your house? Keep in mind divorce does not automatically cancel or sever your joint mortgage or any joint ownership of your house.
Because the most dangerous asset in divorce is...your HOUSE, the best time to protect your financial future is...BEFORE divorce.
For Divorcing Homeowners:
Divorce your house, not just your spouse.SM
CAUTION: When keeping your house equals losing your divorce.
What you don't know during your divorce will hurt you more, long after.
Major mistakes in divorce real estate are preventable during your divorce but are not fixable after your divorce.
These mistakes often result in damaged credit, mortgage default, foreclosure or even bankruptcy. Mistakes that ruin finances, families and futures - for years after divorce.
Because such financially critical mistakes are preventable but not fixable, our solution is simply MORE/EARLIER: more due diligence and information from more real estate and financial experts much earlier in your divorce process.
And the best time to protect your post-divorce credit is during the divorce process - for a stronger financial future.
