Business valuations often drive the most complex financial issues in divorce. This session provides CDFAs with a practical, non-technical overview of how closely held businesses are valued in the family law context, including the three valuation approaches, key assumptions, valuation dates, goodwill, and common adjustments. Attendees will gain insight into how valuation conclusions impact equitable distribution, support analyses, and settlement strategy. And how to collaborate effectively with valuation experts.
