Splitting up assets?We know that divorce can be very difficult. There are numerous decisions that have to be finalized, including the status of the shared residence. There are generally two options when discussing the house - it can be sold 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 order an appraisal of the common real estate.
