The husband, an attorney for the state, had accrued 115 sick days and 42 vacation days at the time of the divorce. A trial court awarded the husband 45 sick days, but valued the remaining sick and vacation days based on his current salary minus taxes and awarded the wife $15,000 for the days.

Disability benefits that a husband received as a result of his service in the military could not be considered in dividing marital property at divorce, the Illinois Appellate Court has ruled.
A trial judge awarded 55 percent of the parties' marital assets to the wife. The husband complained that the judge improperly considered his VA disability benefits in making the award, because 38 U.S.C. Sect. 5301(a)(1) prohibits the transfer and assignment of such benefits.
