For most divorcing couples in Wisconsin, the marital home is the largest asset in the marriage — and one of the most emotionally charged decisions in the entire case. Whether to sell it, who keeps it, and how the numbers actually work are questions that come up in nearly every divorce involving real estate.
In this episode, Sterling Lawyers Managing Partner Holly Mullen sits down with attorney Crawford Campbell from the Appleton office to break down exactly how the marital home gets handled in a Wisconsin property division case — from calculating equity to establishing value to navigating the buyout process.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
- The difference between a home's market value and its divisible equity
- The three ways to establish home value when spouses disagree
- How courts evaluate competing appraisals in property division in Wisconsin cases
- What a cash-out refinance actually involves when one spouse keeps the home
- The mortgage assumption option that preserves existing loan terms without refinancing
- What happens to the home when neither spouse wants to keep it
Listen in to discover how property division in Wisconsin works when the marital home is on the table so you can make informed decisions about one of the largest financial assets in your divorce instead of leaving money on the table.
