Alternatives to Palimony Claims
Palimony claims may no longer be available in New Jersey in the absence of a written agreement promising support. The law requiring a written agreement did not eliminate other legal and/or equitable theories such as partition; unjust enrichment; constructive trust; promissory estoppel; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; interference with contractual/prospective economic advantage; conversion; theft; fraud-deceit-misrepresentation; abuse of process/malicious prosecution; Tevis; RICO; Sheridan; federal/state wiretap/invasion of privacy. Lauredan v. Lorvanis, New Jersey App. Div., July 19, 2010
