Dividing marital assets?We understand that divorce is a painful process. There are numerous decisions to worry about, including the status of the house. There are generally two alternatives when discussing the house - it can be sold and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to commission an appraisal of the residence.
