A quick definition of palimony:
Palimony is when a court gives money or things to one person in a relationship that wasn't a marriage, after they break up. It's called palimony because it's like alimony, which is money one person pays to their ex-spouse after a divorce. Some states say that if the couple had an agreement about sharing money or things, the court will make sure it's followed. But not all states do this.
A more thorough explanation:
Palimony is a term used to describe a court's decision to award financial support or assets to one person in a non-marital relationship after a break-up. The word "palimony" is a combination of "pal" (meaning friend) and "alimony" (which is financial support paid by one spouse to another after a divorce).
For example, if a couple has been living together for many years but never got married, and one person supported the other financially during that time, a court might award palimony to the supported person after they break up.
Palimony is only recognized in some states, and usually only when there is a valid agreement between the partners. This agreement can be written, oral, or implied, depending on the state's laws.
Overall, palimony is a way for non-married partners to receive financial support or assets after a break-up, similar to how alimony works for divorced spouses.
