A divorcing spouse can elect to "buy out" or purchase the other spouse's financial interest in a home.
For instance, when you have a home with a mortgage, it is common for one party to keep the house and pay the other spouse, or sell the house and provide the equity as a property settlement.
Mortgage payoffs and tax consequences are typically taken care of. Divorce lawyers will help couples understand what part of the settlement is taxable.
