       In Re Marriage of Graham
       By: SunsetSailor Date: January 27, 2011, 10:24 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       PROCEDURE:
       * Trial Court:  Said that the degree was jointly owned
       property and calculated the future earning value of the MBA and
       awarded the ex-wife a portion of it
       * Court of Appeals:  Held that a master’s degree (MBA) does
       not constitute marital property which is subject to division by
       the court
       * Supreme Court:  Affirmed
       ISSUE:  Whether in a marriage dissolution proceeding a master’s
       degree in business administration (MBA) constitutes marital
       property which is subject to division by the court
       RULES:  DEGREE IS NOT PROPERTY, no exchange value
       * She could have claimed unjust enrichment—all you need to
       prove that the plaintiff provided something to the defendant for
       his benefit, and that in good conscious, the defendant should
       pay for it
       CONCLUSION: She ended up getting nothing
