an attending physician i knew was taken to the cleaners for FUTURE paychecks because he did not have his physician's license prior to getting married. it had nothing to do with alimony (no kids) and he was not partner yet in his group. it's one thing if you're dividing up the current assets, but can your future salary be at risk without a license? how is this even possible? i'm still a resident so i was wondering how this works.
