What happens to the house during a divorce in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, the marital home is typically considered marital property, even if only one spouse is on the deed. Options often include selling the home, one spouse buying out the other, or temporarily retaining the property. The right choice depends on financial, legal, and personal factors.

Do we have to sell our home before the divorce is final?

Not always. Some couples sell before finalization, while others wait until after settlement. Timing can affect equity, taxes, and stress levels. We help you understand the pros and cons of each option in the context of Lancaster County market conditions.

How is a buyout value determined?

A buyout typically requires an accurate market valuation. We provide professional market opinions based on Lancaster County comparables and current market trends to support informed negotiations.

Can you work with both spouses?

Yes. We regularly work with both parties in a neutral capacity, providing the same information to everyone involved. Transparency and fairness are central to our process.

Will you work with my divorce attorney or mediator?

Absolutely. We frequently coordinate with Lancaster County divorce attorneys and mediators to ensure real estate decisions align with legal agreements and timelines.

Is our conversation confidential?

Yes. All consultations are handled discreetly and professionally. Your privacy is always respected.
