My husband and I are divorcing and I am trying to figure out if I can keep the house. Is the cash out option not available for us since the "cash" would be to pay him?
hi penleric,
if you want to keep the house, you will have to buy out your husband. you need to offer him a certain sum of money and ask him to transfer the property to you. once the property is transferred in your name, you need to refinance your mortgage in your name.

The transfer of title can occur at closing. Your ex should not be transferring title to you before the buy out. If he does that, you own the property and he lost the property without you paying him anything.
Transfer of title takes place at closing at same time you pay him the buy out amount.
"Cash out" for the purposes of a buy out per a legal divorce decree is actually treated as a rate and trem refinance aslong as any money taken out goes to the ex. If you take out more and keep some yourself, it is treated as a cash out refinance.
