5. Consider Selling the Family Home.
It can be a mistake to try to keep the marital home, says Mr. Vlasto. While there's often a strong desire to keep it, especially when children are involved, a home is an expensive asset to maintain, he says.
Vlasto說,保留夫妻共同房產可能是個錯誤。他表示,雖然人們往往很想保留房產,特別是在有孩子的情況下,但是房產是一項維護費用昂貴的資產。
維護費、稅、業主協會費和保險費加起來可不是一筆小數目。
'All expenses need to be considered,' he says.
他說,所有的費用都需要考慮進去。
Consider whether you'll realistically be able to afford the home post-divorce, especially if your ex-spouse died, became disabled, lost a job or couldn't make alimony payments.
考慮一下 離婚后是否確實能夠供養房產,尤其如果發生以下情況:你的前配偶死亡、成為殘疾人、失業等導致無法支付贍養費。
