Sneed — Personal goodwill of a professional practice is not marital property

The Supreme Court distinguished marketable enterprise goodwill, which remains with a practice, from personal goodwill that depends on the individual practitioner. It held that personal goodwill cannot qualify as marital property and reversed to that extent. Review of the enterprise-goodwill issue was dismissed as improvidently allowed, and the matter was remanded for a corrected distribution order.
