Providing Compassionate, Skilled Representation

Divorce And The Family Home

For millions of American households, the family home is the most valuable asset they own. Beyond the money, your house has years of memories contained in its walls. In divorce, the fate of the house can be one of the most emotionally charged issues the spouses must deal with.

Effective Northern Illinois Divorce Lawyer

Based in Vernon Hills, Illinois, Gauthier Family Law combines small law firm attention to detail with big results for our clients. If you are unsure what to do about your house in your divorce, we will arm you with the information you need to make the best decision for yourself and your children. Then we will advocate for your goals and work toward a positive result.

There are several factors to consider when it comes to the family home. If you have young children, your first instinct may be to fight to keep the house and have your spouse move elsewhere. This is possible in many cases, but consider: Can you afford to make the mortgage payments on your own? Is your former spouse willing or able to help? Is the house in good condition? What is the real estate market like in your area?

Attorney Michael J. Gauthier will help you consider the matter from a financial, emotional, parental and tax standpoint. Our firm is committed to securing your and your children’s future post divorce.
