Selling the family home turns out to be not only bearable, but the best thing you ever did.

Most, divorcees don’t want to sell their home—especially if their kids are still in school. But if a trusted financial advisor advises you to do it, listen. Not only will your kids turn out to be more resilient than you think, but you'll be giving yourself financial freedom and future security that you wouldn’t have otherwise. Plus, though it may feel scary to start over in a new place, you’ll be free of the old home-associated memories and have a canvas to express what you want for your life going forward.
