What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH A MAN FOR 23 YEARS. HIS FAMILY TOOK HIM AWAY TO LIVE WITH THEM BECAUSE HE HAS DEMENTIA. HE DID NOT WANT ME TO WORK SO WE COULD TRAVEL. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF HIM BECAUSE OF HIS ILLNESS. I AM 63 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND EMPLOYMENT. HE WILL BE PAYING ME 1,400.00 PER MONTH UNTILL FEB. 2010. AFTER THAT I WILL BE GETTING NOTHING. HE DID NOT WANT TO GO AND LIVE WITH HIS FAMILY HE WANTED TO STAY HERE WITH ME. IF I START TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY IT WILL ONLY COME TO 285.00 A MONTH. SHOULD I SEE A LAWYER? I KNOW MASSACHUSETTS HAS NO LAW TO HELP ME, BUT SHOULD I TRY ANYWAYS?

As you stated, Mass has no palimony laws to assist you. The cost of hiring an attorney to challenge current laws would be astronomical, and that money would be better spent on your living expenses.
