Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Palimony in Nevada
A recent widow has met a man in Nevada who has successfully talked her into moving to Nevada and renting an apartment for six months. She will live in the apartment while in Nevada, but once she travels back East he will live in the apartment. Assuming that palimony is recognized in Nevada, do both people have to reside in the residence on a full-time basis for a certain period of time before one or the other is eligible for palimony? I don't know anything about him but I want to make sure her assets are protected.

Re: Palimony in Nevada
Although I am not a Nevada attorney, if I were your friend I would not be counting on so-called
palimony to be available to compensate me for possible losses which I might incur as a result of the dubious relationship which you've described. (The remedy of palimony may be available in certain limited situations where there is a long term relationship and there is great disparity in terms of assets between the partners. The relatiuonship of the late Lee Marvin
and his long term paramour comes to mind. It's very doubtful that this would apply to the relationship described in your question.))
I would also be very wary about signing a long term lease for any apartment which someone else
will be occupying while I am involved elsewhere.
