{¶ 24} I concur in judgment and opinion as to the first assignment of error. However, I respectfully dissent regarding the second assignment of error, because I agree with the view that supports keeping the burden on the spouse seeking to declare the appreciation as separate. See, e.g., Teaberry v. Teaberry, Mahoning App. No. 07MA168, 2008-Ohio-3334, ¶¶ 17-18; Volk v. Volk, Summit App. No. 21540, 2004-Ohio-1433, ¶ 9;LeForge v. LeForge, Clinton App. No. CA2002-12-047, 2003-Ohio-5878, ¶ 11;Slomcheck v. Slomcheck, Trumbull App. No. 2001-T-0098, 2002-Ohio-4952, ¶ 12; Hemming v. Hemming, Franklin App. No. 02AP-94, 2002-Ohio-4735, ¶ 10. Here, I would require Ms. Harrington to prove that the appreciation was passive and separate.
 {¶ 25} Accordingly, I dissent, in part. *Page 14
