Question

Sabrina tells her boyfriend Alexander that if they get married, she will give him 50 percent ownership of her tech startup company. Alexander quits his job as a teacher and begins working at Sabrina's company. The two get married but divorce ten months later. Alexander claims that Sabrina owes him 50 percent of her company. Please rule.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sabrina owes Alexander nothing because the agreement was not in writing

Explanation:

The reason Sabrina owes Alexander nothing is because there was no legal agreement on ground. Alexander reached this agreement with her without the both of them doing the appropriate writings, signings and documentation.

Alexander may have been able to get the courts to rule in his favor if Sabrina has tried escaping or changing the obligation they have both agreed to in writing.
