Description
The parties to this action entered into a meretricious relationship in 1943, at which time respondent, plaintiff in the lower court, moved into an apartment owned by appellant. They subsequently obtained divorces from their then spouses, and in 1947 they secured a marriage license, which was not used until November 17, 1952, after respondent had instituted a suit to obtain a division of the property that had been accumulated during the years the parties had lived together. To effect a reconciliation, appellant agreed to and did marry the respondent. Six months later, in May, 1953, respondent filed suit for divorce, which action was never prosecuted, the parties having again become reconciled. On August 19, 1953, she filed her complaint in this action, seeking a divorce, alimony, and one half of the property of the parties. Appellant cross-complained, praying that the decree of divorce and all of the property be awarded to him. On June 25, 1954, a decree was entered in favor of the respondent, awarding to her approximately thirty per cent of the property and dismissing the cross-complaint.
