    Question Division of Property and Determination of Value

    Hi, if anyone can help, I have a question about a sentence in my ruling. I have a divorce case in Ohio, and the magistrate has made the following ruling, but I'm not sure of its consequence.

    "..the following items of jewelry be found to be marital property and be awarded to <my ex-husband> at the indicated price:"

    Then follows a listing of my jewelry items and the price of each item. Does this mean he gets the jewelry and pays me the total amount (or half), or does it mean I get nothing?
    Thanks

    It appears he gets the jewelry at the court approved price and you get the money. You can attempt to negotiate a repurchase or have your attorney appeal the verdict.

    You will need to read the entire document or consult a lawyer. Generally speaking, the values are going to be applied to make sure that the division of property is equal. You get some stuff, he gets other stuff, all of it gets a value.
