Miller v. Kline
Minon Miller lived with Everett K. Kline for nearly 12 years. They raised a family together, but never married. Miller sued Kline for a half interest in the house they bought in 1995, a share of the funds he borrowed against the equity in the house and reimbursement of the sums she contributed for home improvements. She also asserted causes of action for breach of oral and implied contract under Marvin v. Marvin (1976) 18 Cal.3d 660, alleging Kline had promised to support her in return for her efforts in caring for the house and their children, and, alternatively, sought quantum meruit damages for the reasonable value of the services she had provided to him. Following a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment in favor of Kline. Court affirm.
