Concerning the just and equitable distribution of real property and liabilities in the dissolution of marriage or domestic partnerships.

This bill, SB 5536, clarifies how real property and associated debts are handled during the dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership, directly affecting divorcing or separating couples and their creditors. It ensures that court orders regarding the ownership and disposition of real property are enforceable by either party and must be adhered to by creditors. Additionally, the bill directs courts to specifically consider the costs associated with preparing real property for sale, such as taxes and fees, and to assess the potential for homelessness for a spouse and children when making decisions about the family home.
