Syllabus

The trial court erred in only one respect, and this was in connection with the court's judicial notice of S&P 500's return rates to calculate appreciation on the marital portion of Appellant's retirement accounts. In all other respects, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in classifying and dividing the parties' property. Affirmed in part and reversed in part, and remanded solely for the trial court to decide an appropriate method of calculating the appreciation of the marital portion of Appellant's retirement accounts.
