1Opinion of the Court

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI

RANDOLPH, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the equitable distribution of a marital estate, as it found that the chancellor had made manifest errors. See Lewis v. Lewis, 54 So.3d 233 (Miss.Ct.App.2009). We agree with the Court of Appeals that the trial court erred regarding the evaluation and distribution of marital assets, but find that the Court of Appeals erred in its remand instruction. See id. at 239-41, 242-44. Thus, we remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
