New Jersey Broken Engagement
This New Jersey couple was engaged to be married and living together. When they broke up, he claimed there was a verbal agreement to share their expenses. She refused to pay her share of the bills and he sued for breach of contract. The trial court found that he failed to prove the existence of an enforceable agreement. This ruling is affirmed on appeal. The moral of the story : get it in writing. Can you say "prenuptial"? Jodha v. Bailey, New Jersey App.Div., August 31, 2005
