Chamberlain v. Chamberlain

In Chamberlain v. Chamberlain (24 AD3d 589 [2005]), the Appellate Division, Second Department, held that the trial court providently exercised its discretion in awarding defendant 30 percent of the value of the degrees and license that constituted the enhanced earning capacity achieved by plaintiff during the marriage, based upon his indirect contributions to the attainment of that enhanced earning capacity by paying all of the family's living expenses while plaintiff was a student and modifying his employment schedule in order to enable him to care for the parties' older child, who was born during that period.
