recently divorced but credit still ok can i get approvel?

Did you have a home ? Did your ex get the house? The alimony will add to your debt to income but other than that shouldn't affect your home purchase.

As long as the alimony does not push your debt to income ratio and you pay it on time, there really should not effect you getting a mortgage as long as you meet the credit, income, assets, employment etc. Let's discuss your loan scenario in more detail.

Yes. As long as you can still income qualify for the new loan. I would be happy to take a look at it for you. Local Atlanta lender. Briggs Cline 404-303-7411

As long as you income and credit qualify, with the alimony payment included in your monthly debt, you will be fine.

Melissa and all the others are correct.

No, despite most divorce situations, many can still successfully get a mortgage. By providing me with the most accurate and true picture of your circumstances -- starting with the loan application -- you're helping me to find the best way to structure your loan for a favorable credit decision. I will also look at your divorce decree for any other undisclosed/non-credit report financial obligations such as child support, alimony/spousal support paid or received. If you receive income in the form of child support or alimony: This income can be used for qualifying for the mortgage, so long as there is a six-month history and the income is poised to continue for the next three years, determined by child support or an alimony agreement detailing the terms of the obligation for the party paying the debt. If you pay alimony or child support: This reduce your borrowing ability as debts reduce income, and income is needed to offset a mortgage payment. If you own a house and are on a mortgage with an ex-spouse: As long as the divorce decree awards the other party with the home, and the other party is willing to provide supporting evidence that they make the mortgage payments on that home -- by providing 12 months of bank statements and/or canceled checks -- the total mortgage payment on that home can be omitted from the decision-making process on your new mortgage, which can improve your ability to qualify. If you and your ex make the mortgage payment from the same joint bank account and the divorce decree awarded the other party with the property: You are both 50-50 responsible because the money is "co-mingled" funds from the same place to pay the obligation. There is no way to support your position that one person is responsible for making the payment because it's coming from a joint account. If the ex-spouse is responsible for making the mortgage that you are also on: Explore the possibility of having the ex-spouse refinance you off the mortgage obligation. If your ex-spouse is refinancing you off a mortgage loan: A final closing statement called an HUD could be required by the lender you're working with for procuring your loan to omit the payment from the other house. If you have a joint consumer credit such as credit cards, installment loans, auto loans or even student loans: Unless you can prove the other party is for responsible for the credit obligation (with 12 months of canceled checks or bank statements), those liabilities will be factored into your ability to qualify.

Bottom line, it depends on the details of your situation. Simply because you pay alimony does not disqualify you, think of that payment as the same as a car loan for the same amount.
