Utilizing Carroll v. Lee in Your Case
**Carroll v. Lee**, * Ariz. * (*), is a foundational case in Arizona regarding implied contracts and equitable doctrines in cohabitation scenarios. Here’s how you can utilize it:
- **Implied Contract and Unjust Enrichment:** Carroll v. Lee establishes that implied contracts and equitable principles like unjust enrichment can be applied to cohabitation situations even without formal agreements. This supports your claim for equitable distribution of assets acquired during your relationship.
- **Supporting Constructive Trust Claims:** Carroll v. Lee can help justify the imposition of a constructive trust if you can demonstrate that both parties intended for the property to be shared and that you contributed to its acquisition or maintenance.
