"Lola was 17 when she met the wealthy entrepreneur. The couple spent 10 years together and had three children.
When the couple split, Lola, now in her 30s, sought a $50-million, lump-sum payment from her former partner and $56,000 a month in alimony payments.
A woman known as Lola is seeking alimony after living with a man in a union that produced three children. They never married.
In 2009, Lola took her case to the Quebec Superior Court, where a judge rejected her claims, saying that under existing law, unmarried partners have no rights, duties or responsibilities to each other

He didn't plan out child support before having a kid, And I did say the flip side of it, Maybe he thought it all out, talked with his lawyer, and his lawyer told him "hey she's doesn't have a chance in hell" so he's A either stupid or B he's got his basis covered.
Your telling me he shacked up with a 17 year old, had 3 kids, and never once thought hey this girl is gonna come at me when this all goes bad?

Frankly laws should change to help protect the people, in this case it might call for a change it might not. I am not so cynical to simply say this women is not entitled to anything, this man did start dating a 17 year old, perhaps she does deserve some compensation just not the amount she is asking for.
