Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book - This book is written for judges who hear family law cases, and family law practitioners. The property division of an ownership interest in a closely held business can be complex and convoluted. The issues of discount rates, discounts, multiples, and double dipping are confusing, but important to the determination of the value of a business. Manipulation of the variables can create very diverse values of a business possibly resulting in a "non-equitable" property division. The purpose of my book is to present a basic explanation of these complex issues and the elements of a business valuation as applied to property division in divorce. I hope you find my book beneficial.Author Dwight A. Ensley is a Certified Valuation Analyst and a North Carolina licensed attorney. He is the founder and principal of ValuePointe.biz, a valuation firm that performs valuations of closely held businesses across the U.S. and valuations of defined benefit pension plans for divorce cases in North Carolina.
