Hedy L. McSparron, Appellant v. James G. McSparron, Respondent

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower courts' distribution of the plaintiff's medical license but reversed the treatment of the defendant's law license, holding that a professional license does not merge into a career and must be valued as a separate marital asset; it also affirmed the appellate division's authority to consider issues not raised in the notice of appeal and allowed consideration of post‑commencement events in valuation, remanding for a new distribution of the law license.
