ORDERED that the judgment is modified by (1) deleting the fourth decretal paragraph thereof directing the defendant, inter alia, to pay monthly maintenance in the sum of $3,500 to the plaintiff, and (2) adding to the tenth decretal paragraph a provision providing that the defendant's life insurance obligation should terminate upon the termination of his maintenance obligation; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, without costs or disbursements, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Westchester County, to recalculate the defendant's maintenance obligation.
"Once a court converts a specific stream of income into an asset, that income may no longer be calculated into the maintenance formula and payout" (Grunfeld v. Grunfeld, 94 N.Y.2d 696, 705). Here, the Supreme Court erred in counting the same future earning stream as the basis for both the distributive award to the plaintiff of a portion of the defendant's certified public accounting practice and license and the award of maintenance (see, Grunfeld v. Grunfeld, supra; McSparron v. McSparron, 87 N.Y.2d 275). Accordingly, the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court for a new calculation of the maintenance award.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in directing him to pay an expert appraiser's fee and an attorney's fee incurred by the plaintiff in connection with the trial (see, Domestic Relations Law 237[a]; DeCabrera v. Cabrera-Rosete, 70 N.Y.2d 879, 881; Brancoveanu v. Brancoveanu, 177 A.D.2d 614; Krinsky v. Krinsky, 208 A.D.2d 599).
The defendant contends that the court erred in directing him to pay $79,771 in unpaid taxes. Since the appendix filed by the defendant does not contain all of the relevant documents, we are unable to render an informed determination of this issue on the merits (see, CPLR 5528[a][5]; Di Blasi v. Caldara, 123 A.D.2d 738).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
