The following is a question which the inquirer agreed may be publicly revealed, and my answer to the question:
QUESTION: Can I get palimony in California, if it even exists? Do I have any rights, even though I was not married? I was with my ex for 8 years. Though he had supported me for years, he would always threaten to leave me and take my car.
ANSWER: You might, or might not, be entitled to Palimony, depending on the circumstances of your particular matter.
If your "ex" agreed in writing, or orally, or if the circumstances implied an agreement, for your "ex" to support you for the rest of your life (or for a defined period in the future), there is a chance that you may be able to persuade a court or jury to award you Palimony, but you would be responsible to pay your own attorney's fees and costs if you choose to take that chance.
Merely because your "ex" supported you for eight years is likely not enough. You should consult with a Family Law Attorney who is experienced handling "Palimony" (frequently called "Marvin") cases regarding the particular facts of your situation.
