I need to hire someone to appraise my tools due divorce. Any recommendations?

[stephen4785]

I went to asset mitigation yesterday and my ex claimed that my tools are worth $100k. So, now I get to hire someone to come out and appraise the tools in my service truck and my shop. Do any of y'all know someone that you would recommend? This damn divorce has me pretty strapped for cash so Im hoping to find someone affordable because I'm broke asf.

I pinged a buddy, if I hear back I'll let ya know. He's out in the Burleson area.

Eh, yes and no. She get's the house, and half of my YouTube earnings on top of me paying $1k/month in child support. I valued my tools at $20k and she thinks there worth $100k+.

Thanks man!

Just hide them and say you lost them all or sold them for 1200. She can have 600 bucks.

Give them to a good friend as a gift. I’m sure you can figure out what to do later.

How does she know what tools you have? I would get a quote from a pawn shop; even if your tools were worth $100,000 the quote would only say $5,000. If you'd depreciated the tool purchase on your taxes you could also argue that the residual value is 0.

This is great advice. If you won a business and you haven't been depreciating your tools you need a better accountant.

I think the problem is she appraised your tool, and decided it was time to leave it.

Joking aside, good luck. Don't cut any corners, and don't do anything nice or beneficial for her. Fight tooth and nail.

I thought this was DFWM.... I'll give oyu $3.50 and 2 JITB tacos for the lot. We can discuss you buying them back once things are settled.

J/K, good luck to you. Like stated above, do not help the enemy and keep records of all transactions and interactions. Even just jotting down notes if it's a FTF discussion, make notes as soon as it's over.
