Thursday. January 24, 1S50 The Daily Tar Heel 5 noitren ISjjlgBisjilBlEN (LammpiLiis .(LailemiQlair 9 - it d By MOLLY MANNING Stiff Writer When singer Michelle Triola and actor Lee Marvin separated after seven years of living together, Triola claimed she should get support payments and property rights even though there had been no legal marriage contract. . ( The California Supreme Court apparently agreed with her. A landmark case in 1976 ruled that she could sue for half of Marvin's property accumulated during their time together. The court set a precedent in the Marvin case that oral or written contracts to divide property or provide support could be enforced between unmarried persons if the contract was proved. Although Marvin M. Mitchelson, the lawyer who represented Triola, predicted that the case would create a trend of couples of drawing up contracts, there has been little effect here, according to area lawyers and marriage consultants. . "The idea of ante-nuptual agreements (marriage contracts) has expanded," said Ken Kaseleman, a Chapel Hill marriage counselor. "A lot of therapists recommend it, but few couples are drawing up formal agreements," he said. "Informal, yes. Couples have unwritten agendas of what they expect and want from their relationships." Marriage contracts are not new. They have traditionally been used concerning property rights and often in second marriages or marriages between older persons. 1 "The main people who have these contracts are those with very large assets and children by a previous marriage," said Chapel Hill attorney J. Anderson Little. "They don't want having a second spouse to interfere with those assets." Dorothy Bernholz, attorney for the UNC Student Legal Services, said that in many cases, an older man with children has divorced to marry a younger woman and wants to protect his property. Little said he has never drawn up an ante-nuptual agreement, but he has seen cases in which an unmarried couple bought land and wanted to take care of the legal aspects of the land in case they split. This kind of contract is enforceable under general contract thedry, Little said, despite the fact that co habitation is against the law. , "Although living together is not technically legal, the main factor in the contract would be co-ownership " John A. Northen, another Chapel Hill lawyer, said. "1 think it would be enforceable in a North Carolina court." Northen cited a case in which two divorcees bought some land and agreed that if they should separate, they would either sell the land or one would buy it from the other. "The people did split up," Northen said, "but this was not like the Marvin case. It was a friendly situation. 1 don't know of any case that has ever had to test that kind of contract."' An article in Mademoiselle magazine in September, 1977 listed items that could be included in marriage contracts, including a list of all assets each person has, agreement on who owns what, how to divide assets in case of separation, and provisions for support and custody of children. Items like division of household chores, number of children wanted, lifestyle and how often to visit the in laws are good to" think through, experts say, but the courts will not get involved in those issues. "The advantage of these agreements is psychological," said Bernholz, who generally advises against contracts. "When you're in love, you don't always think about who's going to wash the dishes. But those things can't be enforced in court." Laura Dean experiments with choreography,,miiic By DONNA WHITAKER Staff Writer Although she may not wear a white lab coat and lavishly pour chemicals into test tubes, Laura Dean is definitely an experiment. She does not use chemicals instead the 34-year-old choreographer composer experiments with dance and music, using live music during her performances to enhance the spinning, stamping and jumping used to develop intricate movements. "I think there is a difference when one uses taped music and when one uses live music. I think with live music there is more energy directed , toward the audience. That's why I believe in musicians as well as dancers," Dean, a Staten Island, N.Y. native, said in a telephone interview Monday. People of Chapel Hill will be able to feel this energy at the performance of the Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, 8 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Hall. During this concert, her musicians will perform on piano, tympani and amplified autoharps. Having 28 years of experience, Dean advises aspiring dancers that "they should train for at least 10 years and, Dean, who composes the music on piano, her main instrument, and choreographs the dances of the Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians company, started her dance and musical career at the age of five. The company, which is based in New York, was born when Dean created her first work of dance and music, Song, for six dancers and two musicians. During the development of her career, Dean trained with many artists and was the recipient of two fellowships foi choreography in 1976. One resulting work from the fellowships is Dance, being performed on Saturday. She has also been commissioned by the American Dance Festival, among other organizations, to create works of dance and music. The experiment began when Dean closed herself in the studio for two years, practicing and planning dance .movements and musical compqsitions. Although there is some controversy over her in dance form, she said, "It is experimental work, and 1 agree with people who don't like it." Laura Dean She added, "It would be boring if everyone agreed with the same thing all the time." when first starting out, see as much dance as they can see and read as much as they can read." Speculating on the future of modern lanc, Dean said, "If the economy of the United States stabilizes, then the dance will grow in the 80s." When asked who she felt would be the leading dance troupe of the 80s, Dean confidently answered, "I will be the prominent dance group!" Andrew Young to speak here Wednesday Andrew Young, former United States ambassador to the United Nations, will speak as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Lectures series at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Memorial Hall.
