1. Case Overview
The client had cohabited with a former romantic partner. At the time, the partner had bad credit, so the client provided a favor by registering a business under their own name and lending an account to receive card payments. After they broke up, the partner suddenly filed a massive lawsuit for alimony and property division, claiming their relationship was a "common-law marriage" rather than simple cohabitation.
 

 

• Proving the Absence of Social Marital Reality: We sharply pointed out that there were no acts to publicly announce them as a married couple, such as formally meeting each other's families or participating in family events and holidays.
• Perfectly Refuting the Economic Community Claim: Regarding the "sharing of names and accounts," which the opponent presented as their strongest weapon, we proved through objective evidence that this was not to form a marital joint life, but an unavoidable and temporary favor solely to resolve the partner's bad credit issues.

3. Overwhelming Victory Result
The court fully accepted Law Firm Theo's arguments. It judged that it could not acknowledge the intention of marriage or the substance of a marital life between the two individuals. As a result, all of the opposing party's claims for alimony and property division were dismissed. Furthermore, we secured a complete victory ruling that ordered the plaintiff to bear the entirety of the litigation costs.
