What is Palimony?

Unless a prior agreement is made, unmarried couples do not have the same rights to support and property division that married couples have. Palimony is similar to alimony and involves providing support to a domestic partner following separation or death. It is a method to address estate planning, property division, and continuing support issues for unmarried couples.
