Plaintiff cross-moves for reargument of (A) defendant’s appeal and her cross appeal from stated portions of the order and judgment dated September 15, 1983; and (B) defendant’s appeal and her cross appeal from stated portions of the judgment of divorce dated April 19, 1984.

Defendant’s motion and plaintiffs cross motion insofar as they are for reargument denied.

Upon the court’s own motion, the decision of this court dated December 9, 1985 [115 AD2d 530] on defendant’s appeal and plaintiffs cross appeal from the order and judgment dated September 15, 1983 is amended by deleting the decretal paragraph from said decision and the following provision is substituted therefor: "Order and judgment reversed on the law and the facts with costs, plaintiffs motion to hold defendant in contempt granted and matter remitted to the Supreme Court, Rockland County, for a hearing and determination with respect to plaintiffs application for counsel fees.” The order dated December 9, 1985 entered on said decision amended accordingly.

Defendant’s motion insofar as it is for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals granted. In this court’s opinion, questions of law have arisen, which ought to be reviewed by the Court of Appeals. The following question with respect to this court’s order dated December 9, 1985 is certified: "Whether a nontitled spouse’s 'contributions or efforts’ (Domestic Relations Law § 236 [B] [1] [d] [3]), as homemaker and parent are entitled to recognition by the court in awarding said spouse a share of the appreciated value of the titled spouses separate property, which occurred during the parties’ marriage.” Mollen, P. J., Lazer, Mangano and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
