Divorce Lending in Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia's mix of rowhomes, condos, and suburban properties spans a wide range of values, so divorcing couples here face varied equity positions, with property and transfer taxes a factor to plan around. Keeping the home usually means a refinance to remove one spouse or a cash-out refinance to fund the other's equity buyout, with the remaining borrower qualifying alone.

Pennsylvania is an equitable-distribution state, meaning marital property is divided equitably — fairly, not automatically fifty-fifty — so an accurate appraisal and clear settlement terms are worth establishing before sizing the loan.

Refinance to Remove a Spouse

Refinance the loan into one name so the departing spouse is removed from the mortgage liability and title.

Equity Buyout Analysis

A cash-out refinance can fund the buyout of a spouse's share of the home's equity in a single transaction.

Loan Assumption Option

If your loan is FHA, VA, or USDA, one spouse may assume it and keep the existing low rate — often cheaper than refinancing.

Settlement-Aligned & Confidential

A CDLP coordinates with your attorney so the mortgage terms in your decree are actually executable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I remove my spouse from our Philadelphia mortgage without selling?

Usually yes, by refinancing into your name alone, which removes your spouse from the loan and can fund a buyout if there is enough equity. The key is qualifying on your own. American Financial Network serves Pennsylvania, and a licensed loan officer who is a Certified Divorce Lending Professional can confirm your options before the divorce is final.
