Palimony

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
VA
We have read a few of your Palimony comments in regards to VA not supporting Palimony. Is the law in VA different for a live-in partner if they have lived there for 21 years and not married? Additional information regarding situation: they have no children together, she has not worked for approximately 20 years other than she helps on the farm, cooks meals, takes him to dr appointments, etc. He has paid into her social security, paid her health insurance, provided for her daughter, son, and her grandchildren.

VA also doesn't support common-law.

Quote:

Virginia does not allow the creation of a “common law” marriage, a relationship in which a couple lives together but have not participated in a lawful ceremony. Unlike some other states, in Virginia a couple cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time. You do not need legal action to end such a relationship, if it was created in Virginia.

Palimony isn't going to happen either.

(you're probably going to be told that if s/he wanted the protection of a marriage s/he should have gotten married)
