Financial early neutral evaluation is a process whereby the Court will either appoint or the parties will agree to use a neutral third party who analyzes the financial issues and makes recommendations relative to the marital estate of the parties. This is a non-binding process. If the parties reach an agreement, it can be incorporated into a permanent Order or a Divorce Decree. If the parties do not reach an agreement, the financial early neutral evaluation process remains confidential and the neither the evaluator nor the parties can testify as to what was said during these discussions.
