Can I buy a house while my divorce is pending?
You should generally avoid making any major new purchases while your divorce is pending. If you purchase a major asset like a house before your divorce is final, it will have to be addressed in the Divorce Decree. This could affect the rest of the property settlement. Also, your lawyer can help you plan to make a purchase such as this by structuring the settlement to put you in the best financial position possible for you to buy a house once the divorce is final.
