“The problem results from the inability of many commentators to conceptualize the property division process as containing two steps. First, place a value on the property to be able to divide it and, second, distribute the property fairly based on the statutory considerations. In the first step, goodwill is treated as any other asset of the practice in giving the practice a monetary value. In the second step, all income-producing assets are considered, along with all other statutory considerations, to decide which assets should be given to which party.”
