O'Brien v. O'Brien (legal case)

O'Brien v. O'Brien is a legal case from 1970 involving a dispute over the division of assets after a divorce. The key issue was whether the husband should receive half the value of his wife's professional license (as a physician) as part of the marital property. The court ruled that the license itself was not a divisible asset like physical property but recognized the wife's efforts and contributions that allowed her to earn her degree. This case highlights the complexities of asset division in divorce, particularly concerning professional qualifications and their economic value.
