Welcome to Divorce SOS
We’re a collection of professionals that have assembled to provide you with all the services you need as you work through your separation or divorce.
DivorceSOS consists of lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, realtors and financial professionals. Our goal is to service all of your needs as a team with an approach tailored to your specific case.
That way, your divorce lawyer can work closely with your realtor and the financial professional can assist with planning for the future or the tax ramifications resulting from your agreement or court order. The Real Estate lawyer can assist in the transfer or sale of property and the Wills and Estates lawyer can update Wills and Powers of Attorney.
When needed, the team can meet collectively with you to address all of your concerns.
Who is responsible for mortgage payments during a divorce?
When it comes to your mortgage during the divorce, it is crucial that the spouse who is giving up their rights to the home has their name removed from the title as well as the mortgage.
Until the divorce is settled, both parties are still responsible for the mortgage payments and any mortgage debt can severely impact your ability to purchase a new home after the divorce.
How much does a lawyer cost during a divorce?
In a popular survey, the vast majority of readers who hired divorce lawyers had the attorneys handle their entire case—what’s known as “full-scope” representation.
They paid an average of $11,300 in total fees (not counting what their spouses paid for their own lawyers).
The median amount was $7,000 (half of the readers paid less than that and half paid more).
Of course, you’re own experience will greatly contribute to the total legal fees you may be responsible for.
