We realize that divorce is a painful process. There are countless issues looming, including the fate of the home. There are generally two options when discussing real estate - it can be put up for sale and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to commission an appraisal of the residence.
