How Much Does My Spouse’s Master’s Degree Impact Our Financial Settlement In Queens?

April 5, 2015 by Marc Jacob

When a person earns a degree, a professional license, or a professional certification during a marriage in Queens, the added value to the person’s potential earnings are considered marital property to be distributed equitably.

This can lead to substantially enhanced settlement awards when a couple divorces.

The value of the earnings that the Master’s degree is likely to confer play a big role in determining the ultimate settlement amount.

A spouse who earned an MBA is likely to be worth much more than someone who earned an advanced degree is a lower paying field, but even so, you should expect to argue for additional compensation based on the degree.

At Zelenitz, Shapiro & D’Agostino, we help our clients get everything they are entitled to in their divorce settlement.
