Background

Despite the quasi-divorce proceeding suggested by the word, "palimony" is not a legal term and has never been used by the California Supreme Court. The legal term, at least in California, is "non-marital relationship contract", and because the relationship is non-marital, the family courts have no jurisdiction. For family court in Hong Kong see Family Court (Hong Kong A family court is a Court convened to decide matters and make orders in Disputes over contract terms are civil cases, thus enforcement is left to trial courts, or in California, "superior court".

Non-marital relationship contracts are not limited to two people, and because these contracts are non-marital any party can also be party to a marriage. Additionally, those who form an express, written contract to ensure property interests, can also draft an express, written contract specifying properly interests are not been stipulated.

Marvin v. Marvin

Marvin, the California Supreme Court ruled that Michelle Marvin had not proven the existence of a contract between herself and Mr. The Supreme Court of California is the State supreme court in California. Marvin that gave her an interest in his property. Thus, the common law rule applied to the situation without alteration, and she took away from the relationship and the household what she brought to it.

The Court went on to explain that while the state abolished common law marriage in 1896, California law recognizes non-marital relationship contracts. Common-law marriage (or Common law marriage) sometimes called de facto marriage, informal marriage or marriage by habit and repute These contracts may be express or implied, oral or written--but they must be provable in any case. The contract may also provide for a sexual relationship as long as it is not a contract for sexual services. Eventually, the California Court of Appeal ruled that since Triola and Lee Marvin never had any contract, she was entitled to no money. The California Courts of Appeal are the state intermediate appellate courts in the U [2]
