About This Course

Real estate, unlike liquid assets, is not necessarily divided 50/50 in a divorce. The process of dividing and distributing real property between spouses is therefore quite complex, and fraught with peril. Who keeps the marital home? How are the proceeds of a sale divided? What factors are considered in determining whether a sale, buyout or deferred sale is equitable? All this and more will be discussed in the comprehensive CLE course on the various statutory factors considered in the division of real estate between ex-spouses. The course will also explain how the occupation of family members in the marital residence may be treated with possible eviction proceedings.
