Real Estate in Divorce

Divorce-Related Real Estate Concerns? We Can Help.

Law Offices of Joy. Y. Frank

Every divorce or legal separation will involve addressing the future of the couple's property. When a divorcing couple owns a home, the home is typically sold (with each getting a portion of the proceeds) or one spouse remains in the home while the other moved out. The current economic climate and housing market crisis has forced many couples to consider short sales or foreclosure in the event of a divorce, particularly if they were upside-down on the mortgage anyway.

At the Law Offices of Joy Y. Frank, we understand the emotional toll a divorce can have on your family. This is even more pronounced when divorce and foreclosure occur simultaneously. We offer a compassionate approach to our clients, taking the time to learn about their needs, their concerns and their goals. We then take steps to meet those goals.

If you concerned about issues relating to divorce and foreclose, seek help from an experienced family law attorney. Our firm's founding lawyer — Joy Y. Frank — has represented clients in contested and uncontested divorces for more than 13 years. She is well-prepared to help you as well. Contact her law firm today to schedule a consultation.

Facing Divorce and Foreclosure? We Can Help

Attorney Frank has more than a decade of family law experience. Before starting her own law firm, she worked for two large law firms in New York City. She quickly earned a reputation as an aggressive trial attorney, committed to safeguarding her clients' rights in a wide range of family law disputes.

In addition to being a skilled litigator, attorney Joy Y. Frank is an effective negotiator. For complex property-related disputes, she regularly collaborates with an experienced real estate lawyer. Together, they combine their areas of focus to provide clients skilled representation. A first step is usually to proactively negotiate with the mortgage holder and seek a compromise in the form of a loan modification. Modifications can include new interest rates or extended terms of repayment. These steps can make it affordable for one property to cover the mortgage payments on their own.
