Marvin Actions (Cohabitation Agreements)
While common law marriage is not recognized in California, unmarried parties who have a relationship over a period of time may be able to enforce promises about property and support based on contract theories of law. Unmarried parties seek their property rights and spousal support (called palimony) through a civil court action rather than in the family law court. If there are children, however, all child custody and support issues will be addressed in the family law division of the superior court.
