Verifies legal separation, divorce, the end of a civil union, or registered domestic partnership.
You may be asked to provide a valid legal separation agreement, based on state statute, to validate:
- Division of assets and liabilities
- Receipt of income, such as child support and alimony, if this income is used to qualify for a loan
When no legal separation agreement exists, a letter from an attorney signed by both parties, or a letter from both parties specifying the proposed settlement terms also may be provided.
Tips for a smoother application process
- Make sure documents are clear and legible.
- Don't alter any pages (no strikethroughs, cross-outs, etc.).
- Send all pages, even the blank ones.
