Going through a divorce in Milwaukee? Here are your three options for the house:
1. Sell it and split the proceeds. Cleanest option. A cash sale can close in 7-15 days.
2. One spouse buys out the other. Requires refinancing. Not always possible.
3. Defer the sale. One spouse stays temporarily. Risk: market changes, ongoing costs, shared obligation.
The sooner you resolve the house, the less it costs both of you — financially and emotionally.
