If either party requests a deferred sale of home in one of Rhode Island (RI) divorce, the court must determine whether or not economically viable for the person who lives in the house to pay the mortgage, privileges, taxes and insurance on the house until the house is sold. In making this determination the court shall take into account the income of the resident parent, no support that a parent receives child support and other sources of income for these payments. The purpose of this law is to prevent foreclosures, uninsured property, and deterioration of the marital home upon divorce and to protect assets of parents in the house. Rigler 05/16/1915
After the divorce the court considers that it is "economically viable" for parents to stay home with minor children, the court will consider whether it is in the best interests of the child or children living at home. The court will use its discretion to make that decision.
In most cases where there are children and the custodial parent can not pay the marital home, the Court exercised its discretion and allow children stay home for a period of time, which can be up to the age younger than 18 years old and graduated from high school.
When the court to stop the sale of the house in divorce cases, the Rhode Island Family Court will usually determine the equity in the house. The court determined the equitable distribution of the person leave the marital home. In many cases, if the parties can not agree on the fair market value of the property, then the parties must hire an appraiser real estate. The court heard expert testimony and determine the fair market value of the house. In some cases, the parties hereby submit to the property appraiser same. Note that in most cases, these problems are resolved out of court before trial or hearing.
After the adjournment of the house must be sold and the father left the house to pay their fair share at that time. Generally, the court will be a mortgage to protect the person who owes money for their share. The court may also award interest on the mortgage. If the court orders a deferred sale of the home can be modified or terminated at the discretion of the court. If the party who lives at home with children remarries or there is a significant change of circumstances in the economic situation of the person living in the home ownership can be ordered sold.
