Can a Reverse Mortgage Save Your Finances After Divorce? The Truth About Reverse Mortgages

Supporting women and men divorcing in British Columbia and across Canada with trusted legal and financial guidance, child custody and parenting insights, and support for navigating life after divorce. In this episode of The Divorce Circle Podcast, Sabeena is joined by Jenn DiSpirito from HomeEquity Bank / CHIP Advisor to unpack how reverse mortgages — specifically the CHIP Reverse Mortgage — can be a practical financial solution after separation or divorce. Many people approaching or navigating divorce worry about liquidating assets, losing their home equity, or struggling with cash flow when incomes shift. Jenn outlines how a reverse mortgage can help you access tax-free cash tied up in your home without selling or moving, use it to pay off debt or bridge financial gaps, and avoid unnecessary asset liquidation during settlement planning. They also bust common myths — including the belief that a reverse mortgage “takes all the equity out of your home” (it doesn’t) — and explain that you retain ownership of your home and only repay when you sell or move. Reverse mortgages don’t require monthly payments and are easier to qualify for than traditional loans or HELOCs, making them useful not just for retirees but for Canadians who are scaling down or planning new life chapters. Whether you’re approaching 55 or wondering how to manage finances without tapping investments or savings, this episode offers grounded, practical insight into how reverse mortgages can fit into divorce financial planning.
