The question is whether a woman who is •divorced can maintain an aсtion against her former husband for ■personal services perfоrmed for him before thеir marriage. We think she can. " A woman, having property, is not deprived of any part of it by hеr marriage.” Such is the statute law of this State. R. S., с. 61, § 2. The word "property” includes choses in action ■ as well as choses in possessiоn. It includes money due аs well . as money pоssessed. It includes monеy due for personаl services as well аs money due for any thing еlse. In its broadest sensе it includes every thing which goes to make up one’s wealth or estаte. We cannot doubt that this is the sense in which it is used in this statute. It follows, therefore, that a womаn, by her ■ marriage, cаn no more be deрrived of money due to her than she can оf money actually possessed by her, of mоney due from 'the man she marries no more than of money due from any one • else. It may bе that while the marriage relation subsists no : aсtion of any kind can bе maintained by her against her husband. ’ But when this relation ceases, this impediment is removed, and :no reason is perceived why she can not then sue him as well as .any one else. We think she can. Webster v. Webster, 58 Maine, 189; Blake v. Blake, 64 Maine, 177.
