The husband appeals, insisting that the trial courterred in finding the existence of a marital asset and in its equitable division of the asset.For the following reasons, we affirm the trial court's classification of the husband'sownership interest in the LLC as marital property, but we vacate the trial court's rulingregarding equitable division of the asset and remand for the trial court to value the assetprior to equitably dividing the marital estate. The trial court's rulings regarding childsupport and alimony are likewise vacated and remanded for reconsideration in light of thefurther proceedings that are necessary as to the division of the marital estate.
