LOS ANGELES — David Caruso’s ex-girlfriend is seeking more than $1.2 million and a house she says the “CSI: Miami” star promised her.
Liza Marquez sued Caruso in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, claiming he promised to support her even after their nearly four-year relationship ended.

In her complaint, Marquez paints Caruso as a possessive, jealous boyfriend who was a reluctant father. The suit claims Caruso, 53, was verbally abusive to Marquez on several occasions and told her that he envisioned himself on a yacht in the French Riviera, not as a father.
Marquez’s suit states she and Caruso started dating in April 2004 while she was working as a travel coordinator. The couple moved in together later that year, and Marquez claims she quit her job at Caruso’s request. The suit states Caruso told Marquez that he would “always be there” to support her financially and in other ways.
