1. “We note that in applying this concept to the case sub judice, the trial court would be necessarily compelled to take into consideration any change in value of the portion of the trust determined to be marital property, which occurs after the date of final separation through the date of distribution. This only involves consideration of the change in value of the marital assets during the period of delay pursuant to our mandate in Sutliff , and thus, does not include any change in value of either the non-marital principal of the trust itself or that portion of the increase in value of the trust determined to be non-marital property.”

2. “Since the parties separated prior to [wife] attaining age forty, [wife] did not obtain ownership or control over the right to the remaining one-half of the principal pursuant to Section 401(e) prior to the date of final separation, and thus, the increase in value of this remaining one-half interest cannot be included as marital property.”
