Yes, under New York law, if your spouse earned a medical or other professional license during the marriage, then that license is considered marital property.
The enhanced earnings that your spouse will be subject to with the license will be calculated to help determine the final financial and property distributions in the divorce, but the short answer is that with the license, you are likely to end up with a much more favorable settlement.
One of your attorney’s most important jobs is to make sure that your marital estate is properly valued and that your claim to its worth is thoroughly and forcefully argued.
In Rochester, the attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer have been helping clients maximize their standing after a divorce, since 1955.
