OPINION OF THE COURT
Levine, J.
[11 The primary issue on appeal in this divorce action is whether the Appellate Division erroneously based both its equitable distribution award of one half of the value of defendant’s law license and his obligation to pay maintenance on the same projected professional earnings. McSparron v McSparron (87 NY2d 275, 286) prescribed a rule against such double counting of income. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the Appellate Division erred and we remit to Supreme Court for further proceedings.
Plaintiff Rochelle Grunfeld and defendant Harold Grunfeld…
