scaredy, you’re probably aware that in a divorce proceeding, a degree conferred upon one of the parties or a personal injury award for injuries sustained by one of the parties is NOT dividable, by law. It belongs to the party who earned the degree or sustained the injury. As does the student-loan taken out by the party who received the education that it paid for.
These things are part of the person so affected. You can’t take away the education from their minds or the injury from their bodies. It belongs to no one else but the affected persons.
