A study by ‘ANG Odpowiedzialne Finanse’ notes that mortgage debt is a major factor in relationship stability, with 35% of respondents citing it as a reason to remain together. Legally, divorce does not automatically release individuals from joint mortgage liabilities without liabilities; both parties remain responsible to the lender consent, and alimony until a formal contract amendment occurs through methods such as refinancing, adding a co-borrower, or selling the property.
