1. “Revised section 953(2)(E)(l)(a) establishes that to the extent a party demonstrates that the increase in value of a spouse’s nonmarital stock resulted from “market forces,” the increased value is nonmarital property regardless of whether the spouse or spouses played a substantial active role in managing the stock. In addition, sections 953(2)(E)(l)(b) and (2)(c) establish that to the extent a party demonstrates that the increase in value of a spouse’s non-marital stock resulted from reinvested income and capital gain, the increased value is nonmarital property unless it is also established that “either or both spouses had a substantial active role during the marriage in managing, preserving or improving the property.””
