This is often an very component when parties from India, Pakistan & Bangladesh get divorced in USA (Virginia, Maryland & DC). In USA courts (Virginia, Maryland & DC), experts are required to testify about the value of real estate.

Jewelry commonly used as a wedding gift can be worth up to thousands of dollars in India, and jewelry as a common wedding gift.

This is why, in the event of a divorce in USA, it is important to keep jewellery from India in the couple’s possession. Frequently, when one party suspects that there are marital problems, jewelry often disappears either before or during the divorce, and it becomes difficult to properly assess and evaluate it to determine the value of the jewelry, as it was usually a gift. Furthermore, this jewelry is often worth more than $10,000 in India, and even more in other countries such as the United States.

If you are in possession of the jewelry from India, you can then prove that it exists and let the court decide how best to distribute it, otherwise, as already mentioned, it could disappear. In addition to jewelry, it is important to consider what you want from the marital home and take it with you when you leave the house and whether you want to keep it after the divorce or otherwise let the court make a determination of the value.
