For Sale by Divorce

For Sale By Divorce: A Real Estate Niche by SARA LERNER via NPR

"I was confused as to what was happening to me after 10 years of marriage," she says. "You know, you think it's for better or for worse, and he's not there to help me, and I was in basically a confusion state of mind."

Still, she had to put her house on the market — a market in which her neighbors' homes weren't selling. And the house had to sparkle while she packed it up to move from Washington state to Texas.

"At the time when you're going through the most difficult time of your life — ... they call divorce worse than death — to have someone that's there for you and assists you and makes you feel like they're here to help you in every step of the way with selling your house, it's really, it's god-sent," Mansoori says.

I hate how the person who leaves the marriage, makes the other person (in this case with three small children) to do all the leg work. Does anyone know of state laws that go punitive on those who 'abandon' their spouses? If you want a divorce then, get a divorce. Don't be a jerk and make the other person do it. I dislike divorce, but actually I can see why Real Estate agents find this to be a niche for those in need.
