If a woman has been having a relationship with a married man for 20 years, can she claim maintenance from him?
The married man constantly said he was going to leave his wife but needed some time to figure out finances and wanted his daughter to finish school. Then it was when she finishes university, etc. He has been stringing her along for 20 years and every month will give her money for rent, food etc.
Suddenly after 20 years he claims he can no longer pay.
Does the mistress have any rights to claim maintenance as they have a defacto relationship and he has set a precedent?
