Palimony & Cohabitation in California

Richard F. Sperling

Palimony | Sperling Family Law

Verbal promises made to you by someone you lived with are enforceable in California.  If a person in a romantic relationship made a promise to you and is breaching their promise, the courts will enforce the verbal promise.  To be enforceable, the promise made to you must have been a specific promise to provide you with money or support (“palimony”).  Promises we may enforce include a promise of joint ownership of a specific asset, or a promise that all of the assets that were acquired by a party while living together would be jointly owned in the event of a break-up.

Palimony
In a palimony claim, proving the existence of a verbal or implied promise can be challenging, as these cases rely on clear evidence of an agreement between partners. Courts will look at various factors, such as financial contributions, shared property, and the level of dependency one partner may have developed over time. By establishing a strong legal strategy, you can demonstrate the commitment and expectations that were part of your relationship. Attorney Richard Sperling can help you gather the necessary documentation, witness statements, and other supporting evidence to substantiate your claim and protect your rights.

Richard Sperling is prepared to be your advocate, and represent you to enforce promises made to you for “palimony” and/or joint ownership of assets.
