There is not magic list that must be followed, but instead is subject to each judges individual discretion. Likwise, there is no per se rule against applying marketability discounts to interests in a closely held family business in divorce case. Trial courts therefore have discretion, on a case-by-case basis, to determine whether to apply a marketability discount. However, the court will generally only give limited time for this analysis.
