Splitting up marital assets?We know that divorce can be very difficult. There are countless issues looming, including what happens to the shared residence. There are generally two alternatives regarding the shared residence - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, 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.
