As a New York Divorce attorney I am constantly having to counsel clients on the issue of who gets the house. Many female clients tend to think that getting the house is a big GET. But not necessarily when you factor in mortgage payments, capital gains, upkeep, and other expenses, and the fact that household income has been reduced by at least 50%. Sometimes getting the house is a big get. Other times, it is just not a good idea to hold on to it even if only for sentimental reasons. By Marion TD Lewis www.marionlewisesq.com
