"His position is that he will amend the Petition to Paternity to allege a meretricious relationship and that will bring that issue to a forefront."My husband just finished going to court to establish a parenting plan and child support order with ex-girlfriend. Which worked in our favor. Today we get this letter offering this as a settlement proposal if we refinance the house (which is in my husband's and her name, presently) and take it out of her name. Which by the way, we have been trying to do.We have been turned down three times, already.Can anyone help. It is in Washington State.

the paternity petition is to be changed to suggest a relationship based on deception and it would bring whatever issue up.

I don't know where Lori got her law degree but it wasn't in the U.S.In Re Pennington, 142 Wn.2d 592 (2000). A meretricious relationship is a stable relationship evidenced by such nonexclusive factors as cohabitation, duration, purpose, pooled resources, mutual services, and intent of the parties. Distribution of property acquired during a meretricious relationship is subject to a three-part test: (1) the trial court must determine whether a meretricious relationship exists; (2) if such a relationship exists, the trial court evaluates the interest each party has in the property acquired during the relationship; (3) the trial court then makes a just and equitable distribution of such property.Unlike a divorce case, however, it is common to have to argue about whether this "meretricious relationship" existed in the first place. Unless your husband has an attorney there is no way to advise on what should be done in this situation as we don't have all the factsPlainly put, he is agreeing to a per se marriage relationship and to conform to the purpose of marital property in disposal of the assets as if a marriage existed.Now, how about the exact wording of the settlement offer and why is he acknowledging the relationship
