DECISION & ORDER

In an action for a divorce and ancillary relief, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Grob, Ct. Atty. Ref.), entered November 24, 2008, as, upon a decision of the same court dated July 31, 2008, made after a nonjury trial, awarded the defendant 50% of the appreciation of the marital residence from the date of the marriage, awarded him a separate property credit in the sum of only $48,000 for the marital residence, imputed income to him in the sum of $100,000, directed him to pay child support in the sum of $1,924 per month for the parties’ two minor children until the emancipation of the older of those children and, upon emancipation of the older minor child, to pay child support in the sum of $1,308 per month until the emancipation of the younger of those children, and awarded the defendant an attorney’s fee in the sum of $15,000.

ORDERED that the judgment is modified, on the law and the facts, by deleting from the fifteenth decretal paragraph thereof the sums of “$1,924.00,” and “$1,308.00,” and substituting therefor the sums of “$1,356.77,” and “$922.60″ respectively; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
