Abstract: The family law courts in Australia are currently ill equipped to assess property valuations in regard to divorce. Judges face conflicts in the system, and there appears to be a lack of clarity regarding current market valuations. Judges look at valuations from both sides, resulting in outcomes that can be harmful to litigants and wasteful to society. While judges face the same valuation uncertainty as the parties themselves, expert witnesses will consequently continue to be called by the courts. This situation has prompted the interest in this study to evaluate the necessity for a review of court decisions.
