Unmarried Couples And Unjust Enrichment: From Status To Contract And Back Again?, Robert C. Casad Nov 1978

Unmarried Couples And Unjust Enrichment: From Status To Contract And Back Again?, Robert C. Casad

Michigan Law Review

In recent years, litigation over property arrangements between unmarried cohabitants has posed some old questions in a new light and has yielded some new answers. One of the most intriguing of these questions is whether a cohabitant has a right, upon dissolution of the relationship, to remuneration for household services rendered during the relationship. A spouse who contributed household services in an actual marriage, of course, may upon divorce receive a share of the property acquired by the other spouse during the marriage or may receive a monetary award as compensation for the contributions made to the other during the …

Domestic Relations—Breach Of Promise To Marry: Relic Revisited To Exclude Expectation Damages—Stanard V. Bolin, 88 Wn. 2d 614, 565 P.2d 94 (1977), D. Joseph Hurson

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff, relying on defendant's proposal of marriage, trained a replacement for her job, placed her home for sale, sold her furniture, and incurred normal expenses incidental to a future union. One month before the date of marriage, defendant informed plaintiff he would not fulfill his promise of marriage; she subsequently became ill, repurchased her home furnishings, and cancelled all wedding plans. Plaintiff brought suit for breach of promise to marry, seeking damages for (1) direct pecuniary losses; (2) pain, impairment to health, humiliation, embarrassment; and (3) loss of the expected financial security of marriage. The superior court dismissed the complaint …

Domestic Relations—Tentative Requirement Of Disclosure And Independent Counsel For Marital Agreements—In Re Marriage Of Hadley, 88 Wn. 2d 649, 569 P.2d 790 (1977), Bruce Judd

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff husband and defendant wife executed three property status agreements during their marriage after discovering that the wife had multiple sclerosis. The couple's personal and business counsel drafted the agreements to minimize the wife's death and estate taxes. Before signing the agreements, the wife received advice from the family counsel and travelled to her husband's properties. In addition, the wife engaged another attorney to examine the agreements, but he declined to give her advice because she failed to provide him with necessary information. The husband obtained a dissolution decree embodying the agreements. On appeal, the Washington Supreme Court held (5-3) …

Alternatives To Absolute Termination Of Parental Rights After Long-Term Foster Caret, Andre P. Derdeyn, Andrew R. Rogoff, Scott W. Williams

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Article will explore in detail the variety of child placement arrangements, both within and outside the system, which can be tailored to meet the needs of children and their biological or foster parents. This examination will reveal numerous statutory reforms and recent judicial decisions that promise increasingly flexible approaches to the traditional custodial alternatives following long-term foster care. Particular emphasis will be devoted to the termination of parental rights case that first united the authors and confronted them with the fact that none of the traditional legal alternatives available to those children could adequately meet their emotional needs.

Proof Of Paternity - The New Test, J. Rodney Johnson Jun 1978

Proof Of Paternity - The New Test, J. Rodney Johnson

Law Faculty Publications

The true identity of a child's father has been the subject of speculation in many a case, literally speaking, as far back as the memory of man runneth. And, the rather obvious social problem giving occasion to this speculation refuses to remain a facet of our moral history. Indeed, if statistics relating to the number of illegitimate births in the United States can be viewed as a valid indicator of the magnitude of this problem of speculative paternity in contemporary times, the problem has never been greater.

Property—Community Property And Joint Tenancy: Creating Surviorship Rights In Washington—In Re Estate Of Olson, 87 Wn. 2d 855, 577 P.2d 302 (1976), Bruce Lamka May 1978

Property—Community Property And Joint Tenancy: Creating Surviorship Rights In Washington—In Re Estate Of Olson, 87 Wn. 2d 855, 577 P.2d 302 (1976), Bruce Lamka

Washington Law Review

This note presents two analyses of the Olson decision. Under the first analysis, the amended Initiative is interpreted to require a writing executed by the marital community in order to convert property from community to joint tenancy ownership. It is argued that this interpretation is unreasonable and will produce an unsatisfactory result in some cases. The second analysis is based on community property law: both spouses must participate in the change of ownership because the property rights of both are affected. This reasoning better supports the Olson decision. It was incompletely developed in the opinion, however, because the court did …
