FOR HOMEOWNERS & THEIR ATTORNEYS
Divorce appraisals
in Allentown.
The appraisal values the home. You and your attorney decide what follows.
Considering a buyout or a sale? Before the visit, agree who is hiring the appraiser, whether both spouses will use the report and which date your attorney needs valued.

THE DATE MATTERS
The house today may differ
from the house at separation.
Looking for local court information? The Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas divorce page links to court forms and procedural information. Ask your attorney what your matter requires.
The inspection date and the effective date of value can differ. Ask your attorney which date the report should address before work begins. A past date means researching the market then and, as records allow, the home’s condition at that time.
If there have been repairs, additions or damage since that date, gather photographs and records of the changes. An appraisal provides an opinion of value; it does not divide the property, decide who keeps the house or resolve the mortgage.
Can both spouses use one appraisal?
Discuss this with your attorney before ordering. If both spouses may rely on the report, agree the engagement and intended users before the visit.
What if we have two different appraisals?
Compare the effective dates, property details, selected sales and adjustments for size or condition. Look at the reasoning behind each value, rather than only the difference between the final numbers.
What will the appraisal cost?
A private divorce-appraisal fee is not published on this page. The property, inspection access, any retrospective research and your deadline affect the assignment. Request a written scope, fee and delivery estimate before scheduling.
