How are professional practices and businesses valued?

Many divorcing couples have to contend with valuations of professional practices and businesses, whether they are co-owned or not. In Arizona, judges have the discretion to decide these issues, and they will examine specific factors unique to each case. Two major factors that go into valuation are the valuation date and the standard of value.

The valuation date is important because it determines the point at which the value will be calculated. There are a number of dates that could be considered, including:

• the fiscal year-end date of the entity closest to the petition for divorce
• the end of the month preceding the date the petition was filed
• the date closest to the divorce trial

If a date cannot be agreed upon by both parties, the court may use valuations form differing dates for the divorce process.

There are typically two types of standards of value commonly used in these cases. This includes the fair market value and the fair values standard.
