Schiller v. Schiller, 625 So. 2d 856 (Fla. DCA 1993). Trial court could not distribute husband's partnership interest to wife; instead, it could impose a charging lien on the partnership interest for a specific dollar amount.

Williams v. Williams, 683 So. 2d 1119 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996).
The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it reduced the value of the husband's stock in his law firm by 20% because he held only a minority interest in the firm and the stock was not readily marketable.

Weinstock v. Weinstock, 634 So. 2d 775 (Fla. DCA 1994).
