In this episode of Life, Law, & Lattes, host Nadia Gilkes delves into the surprising divorce of famed music mogul David Geffen and his husband, Donovan, opening up a Pandora's box of allegations, promises, and legal entanglements. With a striking 50-year age gap and no prenup in place, Donovan claims breach of an implied-in-fact contract, introducing us to the fascinating world of unwritten promises.

Exploring real-life examples and legal intricacies, Nadia discusses the concept of implied contracts, both implied-in-fact and implied-in-law, showing how everyday scenarios bear similarities to this high-profile case. From taxi rides to unexpected lawn services, she breaks down how behavior can imply agreements.

Join the conversation as Nadia examines what constitutes a legally binding promise without a written contract, drawing lessons for all relationships and agreements: clarity and written documentation are key. And, as always, stay tuned for updates on this unfolding celebrity legal saga.
