“We were in a de facto relationship and our financial agreement should be enforced.” Which case won?
A man and woman met in late 2011 at a massage parlour, where the woman worked. The man was married at the time.
In February 2012, they had dinner together and commenced a sexual relationship. In March 2012, they discussed having a child together and the woman stopped working at the massage parlour, at the man’s request. The man also began to stay overnight at the woman’s house, although the parties disagreed on how often this occurred.
In April 2012 the man began transferring $2,000 per month to the woman, along with two additional transfers of $10,000 in June 2012 and July 2012.
