Palimony Law Attorneys

Palimony is a gender neutral concept that applies to couples who are in a long term relationship. A palimony contract can be verbal, implied, or written. The palimony contract essentially promises that one party will financially support the other party throughout their lifetimes. We represent clients who are not receiving the palimony that was promised. We also defend against false palimony claims.

At Law Offices of James M. Newman and Associates, LLC, we recognize that not all couples consist of a husband and wife. Couples can be heterosexual and not married, or same sex couples in domestic partnerships. As part of our comprehensive family law services, we strive to provide effective legal representation to all orientations. We listen to our clients' objectives and concerns. We use this knowledge to pursue favorable outcomes and solutions for our clients.

Verbal, Written, or Implied Palimony Agreements in New Jersey

We help clients bring forward lawsuits based on verbal, written, or implied palimony agreements. This verbal or implied agreement often occurs through the course of the relationship. As the party who has been supported, you may be entitled to monthly payments to pay for living expenses, real estate or housing, and education. You may also be entitled to property division of assets and property that were acquired during the course of the relationship.

Palimony applies to both sexes, even in the case of heterosexual couples. We approach each clients' concerns with the individualized attention they require. We understand relationships and ways of life vary from couple to couple. Whether your partner was wealthy and you quit work to maintain a household or you make a modest wage with your partner supporting the majority of your lifestyle, you may be entitled to sue for palimony.
