Questions, answered

Can I buy out my ex-spouse's equity on our Clifton Park home?+
Yes — FHA and Conventional structure this as a Rate/Term refinance (better pricing than cash-out), while VA requires a Cash-Out refinance. Your decree or separation agreement drives the structure.
Does my ex's debt count against me if the decree assigned it to them?+
On FHA, no — if you can show 12 months of their canceled checks proving payment, along with the decree showing the assignment.
What documents do I need for a divorce-related mortgage in Clifton Park?+
A complete, legally binding divorce decree or separation agreement is the backbone of every file — plus a certified settlement statement at closing for VA buyouts.
