Virginia Common Law or Palimony?

[wvining]

What is the name of your state? Virginia

My friend has a live-in "roommate" that at one time was his girlfriend. They have lived together in a rented home for about 15 months. The property lease is in his name only. They have no children. First off he wants her to leave but she can be abusive without cause. He is afraid that if he serves her with the 30 day vacate notice she will destroy his property or worse cause bodily harm to him. What can he do?
Secondly she is threatening him with "palimony." Is there such a thing in Virginia? Are they consider common law?What is the name of your state? Virginia

Virginia does not recognize common law marriage. Tell him to have her served with a 30-day notice and have the phone in one hand, the summons in the other. If she gets violent, dial 911 and have her arrested for domestic violence.

Then, next day, have an order of protection filed against her.

Although Virginia is not a common law state can she get any type of "support" from this man?

Actually VA has laws making cohabitation of unmarried couples illegal, he is looking to evict a tennant, correct? How can a tennant get support from their landlord?

She certainly is considered a tenant in his mind however they were boyfriend/girlfriend at one time. She is threatening him with palimony and whatever else her mindset is at the moment.

A 15 month relationship couldn't constitute common law or result in palimony even if VA laws allowed for that....which they don't.

He needs to evict her NOW.

JESUS H. CHRIST man, you've been told twice now what the answer is. Call your friend and tell him to evict the bitch.

What SHE "tells him" is unimportant. She can "tell him" anything she wants.

Just love these women who think just cause they shack up in some guy's place for several months, they are "owed" a living or a residence!
