We now know you can't get palimony if you cohabit with a married man and his wife but then leave him because he won't leave her. Although this arrangement was deemed "a marriage-type relationship", the trial court's grant of palimony damages is reversed because there was no express or implied promise of lifetime support. "Palimony is the enforcement of a broken promise made for future support. It is not recompense for years spent in a failed relationship" nor "an economic substitute for opportunities that may have been lost or expectations that were unfulfilled." The ruling cost Fiona Bayne the $384,000 awarded her at the trial level, leaving her only with an equity share in a condominium in which she had invested. Bayne v. Johnson v. Johnson, New Jersey App. Div., October 29, 2008; N.J. Super. (App. Div. 2008).
