so what a marvin claim is in california
00:07
which is known as palimony
00:09
is that is a situation where the parties
00:11
are not married
00:12
but they live together as if they are
00:14
married and the way it’s defined it’s a
00:16
civil case it’s not in the family court
00:18
it’s an implied or express oral contract
00:21
so either it’s
00:22
said or they lived it where the parties
00:26
sort of live as if they are married they
00:28
hold themselves out as a married couple
00:30
and they have a assets together or
00:33
there’s promises that they’re going to
00:35
have
00:35
assets or promises that they’re going to
00:37
be taken care of i’ve handled some
00:39
marvin cases
00:40
where we’ve had jury trials they’re
00:42
actually in front of a jury where family
00:44
law cases
00:44
are not and there’s promises to somebody
00:47
and those promises aren’t
00:49
kept as if you’re in a marriage in that
00:52
situation you
00:53
are entitled to some of those assets if
00:55
you are the person who has been sort of
00:57
kicked to the curb
00:58
so that is a marvin case in california
01:00
it’s sort of a pseudo marriage
01:02
that never was consummated by a marriage
01:10
license
