During the course of their ten year relationship, Christopher Kelley and Melissa Cooper (pictured below together) had a child together. Kelley also had a child from a previous relationship. Cooper quit her job to take care of both children. Kelley even gave her a $10,000 engagement ring. He eventually left her. Cooper then sued him for breaking his promise to marry her and fraud. She was awarded $55,000 in damages. These are often referred to as “heart balm torts”. It seems that only a handful of states will actually let you sue for a failed engagement anymore.
