Mortgage guidance for one of life’s most complicated transitions.
Divorce can bring a lot of financial questions, especially when a home and mortgage are involved. Whether you are hoping to keep the marital home, buy a new home, refinance an existing mortgage, or understand how support payments may affect your loan options, Drew Kozel Lending Group is here to help you move forward with clarity.
At Drew Kozel Lending Group, we help clients understand their mortgage options during separation, divorce, and post-divorce transitions. Our goal is to help you make informed lending decisions while working alongside your attorney, financial advisor, real estate agent, or other trusted professionals.
Divorce Lending Solutions We Can Help With
If one spouse wants to keep the home, we can help review possible refinance options, equity buyout strategies, and whether the current mortgage structure allows for other alternatives. This may include evaluating income, debts, credit, home equity, support obligations, and the terms of the divorce agreement.
If you are ready to purchase a new home, we can help you understand what you may qualify for, what documentation may be needed, and how your divorce-related income, debts, or obligations may impact the mortgage process.
A refinance may be used to restructure the mortgage, remove a co-borrower, access equity for a buyout, or create a loan that better fits your new financial situation. We can walk you through available options and help you understand what may be realistic based on your full financial picture.
Alimony, child support, separate maintenance, equalization payments, and court-assigned debts may all affect mortgage qualification. We help review how these items may be treated by lenders so you can plan ahead with fewer surprises.
We do not provide legal advice, but we can help provide mortgage clarity while you work with your attorney, mediator, financial planner, or real estate professional.

Possibly, but it depends on the loan, lender, servicer, and your ability to qualify. In many cases, refinancing is used to remove a borrower from the mortgage. In some cases, an assumption or release process may be available. We can help you understand which options may apply.
It may be possible, but timing and documentation matter. Lenders may need to review separation agreements, court orders, support obligations, income, debts, and ownership details before determining eligibility.
In some cases, yes. Lenders typically need documentation showing the payment amount, duration, and history of receipt. Guidelines vary by loan program, so it is important to review your situation early.
That may help, but lenders still need to review the full documentation and how the debt appears on credit. Some mortgage guidelines allow certain court-assigned debts to be treated differently, but the details matter.
Possibly. Lenders will need to determine whether the existing mortgage payment must be counted in your debt-to-income ratio or whether it can be excluded based on documentation and payment history.
Yes, ideally. Mortgage qualification details can affect whether a proposed settlement is realistic. Speaking with a mortgage professional early may help you avoid agreeing to terms that are difficult to execute later.
You do not have to figure out your divorce mortgage options alone. Drew Kozel Lending Group can help you review your situation, understand your lending options, and prepare for the next chapter.
