Informal Marriage Denied in California Case

LOS ANGELES UPD Santa Barbara yachtsman Paul Hurst denied charges in a separate maintenance suit brought by a woman who identified herself as Mrs Blanka Hurst. The 10 year old woman sought 1220 a month for herself and son Paul Mack Hurst 1 years old. She claimed she became Hurst s common law wife in a ceremony involving dropping champagne in a glass after which he announced Now you re married. A concurrent order shifted the suit to Santa Barbara Superior Court as Hurst is a resident there. The woman s attorney planned to push for a temporary support hearing in Los Angeles if the transfer order did not halt proceedings. She said they had not been formally married but that he told her in San Francisco Now you re married after dropping a ring inscribed I love you with all my heart in champagne glass. She said they had lived together in California and Nassau.
