Valuing Goodwill in Divorce

July 2011

Business Valuation Resources, LLC

The difference between personal goodwill and enterprise (practice) goodwill is easy to conceptualize but difficult to measure. The complexity increases given the varying ways in which state courts treat goodwill in divorce cases. BVR's Special Report on Valuing Goodwill in Divorce addresses the difference between personal and enterprise goodwill, and discusses treatment of goodwill in the context of a divorce dispute. This special report also includes BVR's Goodwill Hunting guide, a state-by-state summary of the precedent-setting court cases affecting the handling of goodwill in marital dissolution.
