A divorce appraisal supplies an independent, well-supported opinion of a home's fair market value so community property can be split equitably. Family-law attorneys, mediators, and the San Diego County Superior Court all depend on a neutral figure that both parties can accept.
An Impartial Appraiser, Not an Advocate
I approach every divorce assignment as a neutral third party. The report is prepared to the same professional standard no matter which spouse orders it, which is precisely why opposing counsel and the court accept the result. When both spouses agree to share one appraiser, a reduced two-party engagement is available.
Current Value, Date of Separation, or Both
California marital dissolutions sometimes call for value as of the date of separation, sometimes as of a current date, and occasionally both. I can prepare a present-day valuation, a retrospective date-of-separation valuation, or parallel figures for each date so the numbers line up with the way your matter is being handled.
Testimony and Litigation Support
If the value is disputed, I can explain and defend my analysis in deposition or at trial. Reports are organized in clear, plain language that a judge and both attorneys can follow without difficulty.
Fees
Divorce appraisals are priced by report type on the published fee schedule. When both parties jointly retain me, the reduced two-party fee applies.
