In February 2002, Henry and Wendy married while living in Georgia, a non-community property state. They did not sign a premarital agreement. In July 2002, Henry and Wendy combined funds earned during marriage and purchased a lakehouse in Georgia, taking title as joint tenants. In August 2007, Henry and Wendy moved to California. They decided to keep the Georgia lakehouse and rented it out to tenants to generate additional income and help cover the mortgage payments. During the marriage, Henry worked as a regional sales manager and traveled frequently for business. Wendy stayed home and managed the household. In March 2013, while attending a trade convention in Nevada, Henry met Heather and began a secret romantic relationship with her. Henry told Heather that his marriage to Wendy was effectively over and promised that he intended to divorce Wendy soon so that he and Heather could begin a new life together. Henry suggested that they begin living together immediately while he finalized the divorce. Heather agreed, and in October 2013, Henry moved into Heather’s home in Reno. Henry and Heather began introducing themselves to friends and coworkers as husband and wife. They opened a joint checking account together. Heather regularly accompanied Henry to company events, and in January 2015, Henry and Heather purchased a small townhouse together in Reno, with both names listed on the loan and title. In June 2016, Henry used a substantial work bonus to pay off the remaining balance on the townhouse mortgage. Meanwhile, Wendy remained in California and had no knowledge of Henry’s affair. Because Henry frequently traveled for work, Wendy did not suspect anything unusual. Between 2013 and 2017, Henry returned home to California approximately once each month. During those visits, Wendy cooked meals for Henry, washed and ironed his clothes, and the couple regularly spent evenings together talking about their future. Henry and Wendy frequently expressed love and affection toward one another. By September 2017, Heather became frustrated that Henry still had not divorced Wendy. Heather eventually sent Wendy a detailed email explaining her relationship with Henry. Wendy was devastated and immediately filed for dissolution of marriage in California. Heather also ended her relationship with Henry shortly afterward. Questions What rights, if any, do Henry, Wendy, and Heather each have in the following property? Discuss fully. a. The Georgia lakehouse. Discuss. b. The Reno townhouse. Discuss. c. Henry and Heather’s joint bank account containing $35,000. Discuss. Answer according to California law.

Philip and Dustin have known each other since the Gulf War. Philip was the medic who saved Dustin’s life when Dustin was pilot of an F-15C fighter plane that crashed near the ocean. They both never forgot that incident. Although Philip had lost touch with Dustin, he recently reconnected with him on social media. Dustin had operated a commercial fishing business for 10 years in Miami, Florida, and often sold his premium fish to nearby restaurants. Philip owned a restaurant in Hilton Head, South Carolina and was thinking about moving to Florida and opening a seafood restaurant in Miami. When Dustin learned about Philip’s plans, he encouraged him to move out and assured him that if he opened his restaurant at that location, his commercial fishing business would sell him premium deep-sea fish (such as mahi mahi) that the other restaurants could not obtain. He also suggested that they could have a profitable business exchange where Philip could pay for the fishing equipment (such as rods and reels, fishing lines, hooks, and baits) while Dustin could provide significant discounts for Philip’s purchase of premium deep-sea fish for Philip’s restaurant. If Philip moved to Miami, Dustin said he would give him $1,000 due to his gratefulness for Philip’s actions in saving his life during the Gulf War. Dustin also assured Philip’s restaurant would receive the first catch for the season from Dustin’s commercial fishing business as a token of his great appreciation for Philip saving his life. Dustin confided in Philip that he felt guilty for not staying in touch with him over all these years and wanted to find a way to help him, even though it would not be comparable to Philip saving his life. Philip was excited about Dustin’s offer and knew that expanding his seafood restaurant chain to a location where more tourists frequented would be a financial incentive to help his business grow. He packed up his family and moved to Miami. When he arrived and got the details straightened out with opening his seafood restaurant, Philip contacted Dustin to follow up on his offer. However, he was unable to reach Dustin and was told by his business associate that he knew nothing about this offer and Dustin had recently moved his commercial fishing business to Key West, Florida. Question 1: Explain whether or not there was valid consideration between Dustin and Philip. Question 2: Explain the legal theory that Philip can sue Dustin for.
