Opinion
July 10, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Wolf, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Denman, Pine and Davis, JJ.
Order unanimously affirmed with costs. Memorandum: We find sufficient proof in the record to establish that defendant's separate property appreciated in value due in part to plaintiff's indirect and direct contributions (see, Price v. Price, 69 N.Y.2d 8; Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [1] [d] [3]). Defendant has failed to show that the increase in value of the property was merely the product of inflation or other market factors (see, Alwell v. Alwell, 98 A.D.2d 549, 551).
