I am going through a divorce in Tx. I need to buy a home. Can I get a mortgage while I am still married?

I am going through a divorce. For some reason, my husband will retain our home. I am looking to buy a home. My real estate agent informed me this evening that I cannot get a mortgage until my divorce is finalized. At this point, my husband will have me out of the house by May 15, whether our divorce is finalized or not. I need to have a house to take my two collies with me. I need some help. I can qualify for a new loan. I have excellent credit and make 62,000 a year. I am a teacher, so I have my trs retirement to back me up. I have taught for 30 years. Thanks for any information anyone can give me.

Hi djeanred,

It is better to wait till your divorce gets finalized and you receive the divorce documents and then apply for a loan.

Thanks
