Is this a Baseless lawsuit or Justifiable

[Wendy]

A lady called into a radio talk show with a gripe. According to her she is with her BF for over 4 years now. He got a promotion for higher paying job but it meant he had to move out of the state. He told her to leave her job and move with him and she could find a job when they settle in. She had no problem doing this because they had talked about a future together

After a while he was told he had to move again ..so again she had to quit this new job and move with him. After months of not finding a job at this new place she was desperate but not panicked – he was taking care of things.

Then for some reason [shi neva sey what reason] di man break it aff wid har and tell har sey im noh tink im waan sekkle down wid har as im did wance tell har.

Shi still neva have a job at this time and now she is telling the host of the show she is planing to sue him for lost wages and emotional damage and nuffer adder tings

Does she have a leg to stand on in this law suit? If you were the attorney in the case how would your argue <span style="font-weight: bold">against</span> OR <span style="font-weight: bold">for</span> her?

So if she have all that right,what is the value of marriage then?
Why would a responsible woman throw away a secured job, to follow aman that is not her husband across the continent?
what did she expect., if he did not thoink she was important enough to him,to be married to?

if it had happened here where I live, she could sue him for alimony as they would have been considered common-law married after 6 months of co-habitating.

You see that is where mi tink things ago get sticky for her... there is nothing legal binding. She claimed she wouldn't have moved along with him if she didnt think he was serious about her. He convinced her enough he was serious so she didn't see anything wrong with going along.... now

Could be The radio host asked some of the questions you asked if they have assets together. She mentioned just joint bank accounts and and Savings and loan plan. Mi never get the conclusion from even that response if this lawsuit would hold up ...but dem [other callers] was encouraging her to go for it.

Wendy, &quot;talking about a future together&quot; is waay different from a ring and a date.

In any event, can't really say without hearing the man's side of the story even though I must admit, her not saying what reason he gave for breaking off the relationship makes me a little suspicious.....especially coming from someone who had so much to say about everything else.

Re: Is this a Baseless lawsuit or Justifiable

eeh eeh all dat to .. She say im jus up an dump har. But she did say that she &quot;suspect&quot; the guy like aff somebody at the job. But again she speculating.

That's what me was saying to miself listening..shi naah give you di whole 9 yards so it hard fi sey what is what.

RC - a lot a people did tell har sey troo shi noh have ring and formal committment she on her own ..but in her mind shi sey shi woulda neva jump roun di place wid im if she thought he wasn't serious ..now shi noh have a jab ina wan farrin place an want him to pay for damages

Re: Is this a Baseless lawsuit or Justifiable

where mi is she would qualify as being in a common-law relationship, with certain legal rights as if dem was married. it no really matter why him dump har, the thing is - she travelled and gave up money to maintain a common-law relationship, so whatever she is entitled to as if dem was married, den a dat she fi sue for.

Re: Is this a Baseless lawsuit or Justifiable

here the common law &quot;married&quot; after one year or one child togehter thing is law. not sure it is in all jurisdictions. but he didn't put a gun to her head and said she HAD to move. she made that choice. bad one.

see what happens when you &quot;submit&quot; to your man's wishes?
