Syllabus

Trial court decision and decree did not fully divide the parties' marital assets, and decision affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded with instructions to enter a decree with a complete allocation of the parties' marital property. Trial court's use of spreadsheet in decree was not an abuse of discretion, as trial court sufficiently incorporated spreadsheet of the parties' assets into its decree by making multiple references to the spreadsheet, because spreadsheet was filed contemporaneously with the decree, and because parties' stipulations that were incorporated into decree expressed the intent to adopt the values of assets and debts on spreadsheet. Trial court's valuation of partnership and corporation shares based on expert's testimony was supported by competent, credible evidence. Trial court's refusal to impute additional income, decision to award spousal support, and reservation of jurisdiction over the issue of spousal support was not an abuse of discretion.
