Splitting up marital assets?We understand that divorce is a painful process. There are many decisions to worry about, including the fate of the home. There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to get an appraisal of the residence.
