SULLIVAN, Judge,
concurring.
While I agree that it is appropriate to order the trial court to "remove Dan's Executive Supplemental Plan from the distribution of marital assets" (Op. at 774), I do not believe it is correct to state that the court included the Plan as a marital asset.
To be sure, the distribution portion of the decree indicates that the wife is to receive 70% and the husband 30% of the Plan. However, it is clear that in adding all the assets subject to distribution, the court did not include the Supplemental Plan. The total marital estate subject to distribution is $1,512,920 and includes no amount attributable to the unvested Plan. The court stated that wife is entitled to $1,059,044 which is 70% of the total marital estate. Again, this includes no distribution of the Plan either to the husband or the wife. In this regard, I would merely order the trial court to strike the portion of the decree which purports to distribute the Plan.
