Housing in a Mutual-Agreement Divorce
The housing situation is one of the matters that must be addressed in the regulatory agreement (convenio regulador) of any mutual-agreement divorce. In a notarial divorce, the spouses freely agree on how to handle the family home.
Main Scenarios
Both spouses already live separately
If the spouses already live at different addresses, the agreement simply records this fact. Each spouse continues at their current address.
Owned property — one spouse stays
If the family home is owned (by one or both spouses), they can agree that one spouse will remain in the home. The agreement should specify the terms (indefinitely, for a set period, etc.).
Owned property — property is sold
The spouses can agree to sell the property and divide the proceeds according to their agreement.
Rented property
If the home is rented, the spouses can agree on which of them will remain as the tenant, or whether both will leave.
Third-party housing
If the home is lent or belongs to a third party, the agreement should record the situation and what each spouse will do regarding housing.
