Divorce AppraisalsWe know that divorce can be very difficult. There are numerous choices to worry about, including the status of the home. There are generally two choices when discussing the shared residence - it can be put on the market and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the residence.
