- Written by Eric Miller, JD
Facts
When Ethelyn Morgan (plaintiff) married Charles Morgan (defendant), both were college students. Ethelyn was studying biology, and Charles was in a prelaw program. They agreed that Charles would pursue his law degree while Ethelyn worked to provide support for the couple, necessitating the discontinuance of her education. Ethelyn worked full-time, had a child, and then resumed working part-time. The couple later separated, by which point Charles had become a successful attorney and Ethelyn had become a skilled secretary and typist. However, at this point, Ethelyn decided that she wanted to attend medical school. Ethelyn resumed her education and entered a premedical course. Ethelyn filed for divorce.
