There are three basic steps in any property distribution scheme: identification, valuation and distribution of those assets. Valuation Strategies in Divorce, Compiled Fourth Edition covers virtually all valuation issues that arise in a divorce case.

This essential resource addresses valuation methodologies and techniques for all assets in a divorce case, including such unusual assets as lottery winnings, frequent flyer mileage, and professional licenses and degrees. It also addresses valuation strategies, including sample direct and cross-examination questions of an expert, valuation checklists, sample appraisal reports and a mock trial transcript.
