535 NYS2d 990 (NY Appellate Div., 2nd Dept., 1988)
Summary
Wife’s master’s degree was marital property, as an academic degree should be treated the same as a professional license. However, a teaching certificate was not marital property because although it was awarded after the marriage, she had completed all the requirement before the marriage.
