Palimony is financial support payments for unmarried couples who were living together (cohabiting), and is similar to alimony for married couples. But some states only allow palimony suits if they are based on a written agreement.
In Oklahoma, palimony is not recognized in the same way as alimony, which is a legal obligation to provide financial support to a spouse after separation or divorce. Oklahoma does not have specific statutes that address palimony for unmarried cohabiting couples. However, individuals in Oklahoma may have the option to seek financial support based on principles of contract law if they can prove that there was a clear written agreement between the partners regarding financial support or property division. Without a written agreement, it is generally difficult to claim palimony in Oklahoma. It is important for individuals seeking such support to consult with an attorney to understand their legal rights and the potential for enforcing any informal agreements they may have had with their partner.
