Palimony – Again!

All you Palimony watchers out there should be aware that the Senate Judiciary just this week expressed support for a bill that would require all palimony agreements to be in writing to be enforceable. The bill, S-2091, if passed into law would amend NJS 25:1-5 the already existing statute that requires all prenuptial agreements to be in writing, and overturn the three NJ Supreme Court rulings that have in recent years established the criteria for awards of palimony: Kozlowski v. Kozlowski, 80 N.J. 378 (1978), In Re Estate of Roccamonte, 174 N.J. 381 (2002) and Devany v. L’Esperance, 195 N.J. 247 (2008) – Both Roccamonte and Devany are digested at http://www.helenglassesq.com/new-jersey-divorce-news.htm
Ahh the “good old days” are it would appear, about to be gone . . . .
