Palimony
For numerous reasons, people decide to live together but they do not get married. Although the motivation not to get married is typically a financial one, sometimes people do not realize that even without a marriage there can be legal implications to such a relationship. In California we have what are known as "palimony suits" which sometimes arise when a relationship wherein two parties lived together comes to an end. The impact of such a lawsuit can be devastating, both from the emotional and financial standpoint. Fred has experience preparing both agreements to prevent the making of such a claim in the event a relationship breaks off, as well as in handling lawsuits where a claim is asserted after a relationship ends.
