6 Mr. Maglica will testify that Mrs. Maglica has no claim whatsoever to any part of the business they built together. Mr. Maglica will testify that there was no legal binding marital contract between himself and Mrs. Maglica, therefore she has no claim to any portion of the assets they accumulated together including the business (Mag Instruments). He will also testify that he made no agreements oral or implied about the share of the marital assets she would be entitled to if the relationship ended.

7 The defendant will have the court believe that he has no legal obligation to compensate Mrs. Maglica for her contribution in helping build their business. Mr. Maglica contends that he owes nothing to Mrs. Maglica, because they were not legally married. For 20 years Anthony Maglica presented Mrs. Maglica as his wife. They maintained a home together, he depended on her as any husband would depend upon his wife. They ran a business together and maintained a relationship as any husband and wife would. Mr. Maglica made an oral contract that stated Mrs. Maglica would receive half of his business assets. We ask the court to compensate and ensure Mr. Maglica upholds his duty as a husband to provide for his wife and make him accountable for the oral contract he made with his wife Claire Maglica.
