Re: divorce & division of property

Will there be any equity left after the foreclosure? If so, a check will be issued in both your names and the judge will, most likely, order the check to be split.

If the house comes out of foreclosure for some reason, you must file what's known as a partition action as part of the divorce. The judge will then order the house to be sold and the proceeds to be split between you.
