In 2010, the New Jersey legislature amended the New Jersey Statute of Frauds to provide that a palimony claim [a promise by one unmarried party to provide support to another] must be in writing, signed by the party sought to be charged. This decision now clarifies that the new statute's bar applies, no matter when the alleged promise to support was undertaken, if the claim was filed after January 18, 2010, the effective date of the enactment. Maeker v. Ross, N.J. Super. (App. Div. 2013); New Jersey App. Div., January 28, 2013
