Separating cleanly
Selling a House During a Divorce in Arkansas
A house is usually the largest thing two people have to divide, and it is the one that forces them to keep cooperating long after they would rather stop.
A house is usually the largest thing two people have to divide, and it is the one that forces them to keep cooperating long after they would rather stop.
A traditional listing means agreeing on an agent, a price, repairs, showings, and every counter-offer. A direct sale compresses that into one decision made once.
What we need before anything can happen
Both spouses on title have to agree to the sale, or a court has to order it. We deal with both of you, or with both attorneys, and we do not take instructions from one side about the other.
If a decree already addresses the house, it governs. Send it to us and we will work within it rather than around it.
The three usual outcomes
One spouse keeps the house and refinances to remove the other from the loan. This only works if that person qualifies alone. Until the refinance closes, both remain liable.
Both keep it temporarily, usually for children, with a defined sale date. Workable, but it keeps two people financially tied together.
Sell it and divide the proceeds. Slowest as a listing, fastest as a direct sale, and the only one of the three that ends the entanglement completely.
What Decides the Number
Four things, and we go through all of them with you.
Who is on the title and the loan
They are two separate documents and they do not always name the same people. Both matter.
What the decree says
Any existing court order about the property sets the boundaries of what we can do.
Equity to divide
Value against what is owed, which is the number that actually gets split.
The date that matters
A hearing, a decree deadline or a move-out date. Working backwards from a fixed date is easier than working forwards from today.
How It Works
1
Tell us about the house
Address, rough condition, and why you are thinking about selling. Five minutes on the phone or the form.
2
We look at it properly
We check comparable sales, estimate the repair cost and check what is recorded against the title.
3
You get the number and the reasoning
In writing, with the repair estimate and the comparables behind it, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
4
You decide
Accept it, negotiate it, or walk away. If listing would serve you better, we will tell you that instead.
Tell us about the property
You do not need answers to everything. Rough is fine, and so is "I am not sure".
If you would rather talk than type, call (501) 831‑6919.
Common questions
Can one of us sell without the other?
Not if both are on the title, absent a court order. We will not attempt to structure around that.
Can proceeds go to two separate accounts?
Yes. The closing attorney can disburse according to whatever split you have both agreed or the court has ordered.
Do you talk to our attorneys?
Gladly, and often it is simpler. Give us the contacts and we will copy both sides on everything.
