Any time you have some type of court case or action in court, the lender would like to be notified. This is one of the questions asked on the loan application (1003). The answer to your question lies in the courts’ decision for your divorce. Is it final? If the answer is “yes”, then you can definitely buy a house, but if it is still in dispute, then no.
In many states the spouse is automatically placed on title/deed, even if the spouse did not sign on the mortgage. The spouse becomes part owner of the estate. Keep this in mind.
I would recommend waiting until your divorce is finalized to purchase anything.
