Florida Law - Professional Degrees

Professional degrees are not marital property in Florida.

However, the court may take into account the increased earnings potential of a party who has a professional degree.

The court may also take into account the benefit a spouse rendered by putting another spouse through professional school, as well as the cost to the homemaker spouse in terms of education or career advancement.

Cases:

Arce (1990) 566 So2d 1308 (professional degrees not marital property in Florida).
