24 Hour Appraisal Group Divorce Appraisal

Fair and Certified Divorce Appraisals in St. Charles County, Missouri

December 07, 20253 min read

Divorce is one of the most challenging transitions a family can experience. Beyond the emotional strain, dividing assets fairly can quickly become complicated — especially when the largest shared asset is the family home.

To reach a fair settlement, both parties need clarity, accuracy, and an unbiased valuation they can trust. That’s why Missouri courts, attorneys, and mediators rely on certified divorce appraisals to establish a defensible value for the property.

At 24 Hour Appraisal Group, we provide neutral, court-ready real estate appraisals designed specifically for divorce cases throughout St. Charles County and surrounding Missouri communities.


⚖️ Why a Divorce Appraisal Matters

During a divorce, Missouri’s equitable distribution laws require dividing assets fairly — not necessarily equally. The home’s value becomes central to:

✅ Determining buyouts when one spouse keeps the property

✅ Dividing proceeds from the sale of the home

✅ Structuring a fair and accurate settlement agreement

✅ Preventing unnecessary conflict, delays, or litigation

Unlike online estimates or a real estate agent’s CMA, a certified appraisal is:

  • Objective

  • Defensible

  • Court-approved

  • Backed by strict appraisal standards

This ensures both spouses — and their attorneys — have a clear, unbiased picture of the home’s true market value.


📍 Local Expertise You Can Trust

Property values in St. Charles County vary significantly between neighborhoods such as O’Fallon, St. Charles City, St. Peters, Wentzville, and Lake Saint Louis. School districts, subdivision trends, and recent sales all impact value in different ways.

Our divorce appraisals include:

  • ✅ Analysis of current market conditions

  • ✅ Accurate neighborhood-level valuation

  • ✅ Adjustments supported by real, recent comparable sales

  • ✅ Consideration of upgrades, condition, and property features

If separation dates and legal filings span several years, we can also provide retrospective appraisals, determining value as of a past date required by courts or attorneys.


🛠️ What’s Included in a Divorce Appraisal Report

Every appraisal is prepared to meet legal, professional, and court standards. Your report includes:

✅ Market-supported fair market value

✅ Clear comparable sales analysis

✅ Transparent adjustments explained in plain language

✅ Interior and exterior photos

✅ Thorough description of the property and market

✅ A signed certification suitable for mediation or court

We ensure both parties — and their legal teams — can understand and rely on the valuation.
