New Decision Requires Palimony Agreements to be in Writing

We are satisfied the words within the Amendment, construed in their ordinary terms, are clear and unambiguous in directing that enforcement of palimony agreements may only occur in those instances where the agreement has been reduced to writing and the parties have each had the benefit of independent counsel. The Amendment therefore addresses under what circumstances a promise by one party of lifetime support for another party may be enforced, irrespective of when an agreement to provide lifetime support may have been entered.In our last palimony post we opined that the retroactive application of the statute requiring a palimony agreements to be in writing may lead to a a New Jersey Supreme Court decision. That decision may still come but for now the Appellate Division as provided more clarity on the issue. Our firm has experienced palimony and family support lawyers. If you have a question regarding palimony or any other type of support contact the family law lawyers at DeMichele & DeMichele. Call today to schedule your confidential consultation (856) 546-1350.
