If you’re talking assets in a divorce, I would say the home is not only the largest asset for most people, but a lot of times, it’s also the asset that the couple is most emotionally attached to. In some cases, people even decide not to get divorced, simply because they don’t want to leave their home.

I have seen people getting divorced devastated that the decision was made (either by their lawyer or mediator or a judge) to sell the family home. Then come the tears and sadness and pain from leaving their comfort zone, a place they feel safe, and the space where the kids know and love.

But Jeff Landers says it doesn’t have to be this way. Jeff is a CDLP® and mortgage lender, who started a company and wrote a book dedicated to strategies for people getting divorced to keep their homes. The book is called Divorce House Sense: How to Keep Your Marital Home So You Can Move On, Not Out®, and Jeff says it shares techniques that even divorce attorneys and mortgage lenders don’t know about.

I am so excited for Jeff to join the DGS community and share his knowledge with us! Welcome, Jeff!
