Mary Beth is in her last semester of her Paralegal Program. It has been a lot of hard work especially juggling schedules with childcare, work and classes. As much as she has been growing tired of her marriage to Tony, she would not have been able to get this degree without him. He was able to get his boss to let him work from home three days a week so she could take three full days of classes
and, on her non-school days, work at her part-time secretarial job. She could have brought the work home, but being at her office was like a "mini" vacation from Tony and the kids. She is so excited that she has learned so much and eager to get started on her new career. She only wishes that she could once again get as excited about Tony. Maybe when I get this great job, I can leave Tony, she thought to herself, and often! He's done so much to help her get this degree, but she really thinks that she can do a lot better now.
If Mary Beth decides to divorce Tony, how do you think the courts will treat her Paralegal Degree and Tony's efforts in helping her get it?
Students should refer to Paralegal Application 12.2 as to the treatment of professional degrees and licenses.
