  • Real Estate Decisions in Divorce: What You Need to Know Before Buying

    Real Estate Decisions in Divorce: What You Need to Know Before Buying
    Sep 24 2025
    Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make — but what happens when that decision collides with divorce? In this episode of We Chat Divorce, co-founders Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan dive into the risks, timing, and financial implications of purchasing real estate during divorce. They share a real client story where a “protective clause” in a sales contract turned out to be anything but protective, highlighting how emotions, timing, and the wrong assumptions can create long-term financial consequences. You’ll learn: Why feeling “protected” isn’t the same as being legally and financially protected The hidden risks of using retirement accounts or insurance loans to fund a property purchase How buying too soon can complicate your divorce settlement and negotiations Why waiting (even when it’s hard) can sometimes be your best financial strategy How the MDS Financial Portrait™ helps you make confident, informed decisions before signing any major contract Whether you’re tempted to buy a new home right now, or just want to understand how real estate fits into the divorce process, this episode offers the clarity you need to move forward wisely.
