Date of Valuation
The date of valuation is the specific date used to assign a dollar value to a marital asset or debt being divided in a Florida divorce. Because account balances, home values, and retirement funds change over time, the court must pick a fair date to measure what each item is worth. Florida judges can choose different valuation dates for different assets when fairness requires it.
