Evaluation of Marital Property Disputes
It is not surprising that disputes about what is a “fair” property division or a “fair” property valuation frequently arise in divorce, and with good reason. Everyone has a different definition of ‘fair’. Valuation and division of marital property may have far-ranging consequences for each spouse's future financial security.
At Myres, Dale & Associates, P.C., our attorneys have decades of experience handling complex divorce litigation involving disputes over the division of marital property. Our lawyers are known in the local and international legal community as creative strategists with strong financial skills that we use to craft positive resolutions to disputes over marital property valuation and division.
Valuation of Assets
Disputes over the value of marital assets often arise in cases where the nature of the asset makes it difficult to value. Understanding this makes all the difference in the results obtained for our clients when valuing such assets as:
- Family businesses;
- Retirement plans, pensions, and other employee benefits;
- Ranches and animals;
- Stock options;
- Unique assets such as coin collections, wine collections, antique cars or airplanes.
Determining the value of complex assets often requires the testimony of experts. Your attorney must be able to fully understand complicate valuation methods used by the expert so that what is often a complex issue can be easily explained to a judge, jury, mediator or opposing counsel. Attorneys at Myres, Dale & Associates excel at this skill.
Long-Term Implications of Property Valuation Disputes
In addition to determining current value of marital assets, a thorough attorney will consider the long-term tax and estate planning consequences of any marital property settlement. The divorce process does not happen in a vacuum. As negotiations or litigation proceeds, the market and case law may change. We provide our clients with careful and up-to-date analyses of the financial implications of their marital property settlement.
