Gay Palimony Practical Effect of Marriage Ruling Options

[Peter Everhard]

Gay Palimony Arrives in California
We pointed out when the California Gay Marriage Ruling was issued that California already had a rather elaborate and extensive Domestic Partners Law. Domestic Partners in Ca were already liable for each others' welfare and debt and, the assets of registered Domestic Partners in CA are deemed community property. Well,

A website that looked at the actual ruling of the CA Court claims that the Gay Marriage Ruling in CA is essential about the word marriage. Specifically, the CA Judges ruled that Gays in CA cannot have something called "domestic partnerships" that are essentially marriage when straight couples have something called Marriage.

Gay Palimony Suits in California were routinely dismissed by CA Courts based on the argument that Gays Could Not Legally Marry. NOW THAT GAYS CAN MARRY, the practical effect of the Ca Gay Marriage Ruling will be that Gay Partners In Long Term Relationships Will Have A Stronger Legal Basis for Filing Palimony Suits. So, gays in CA won't even have to formally marry to get fucked up the ass by the fact that Gays have the right to marry in California.

We previously pointed out that a large number of gay couples registered as domestic partners in CA UN-REGISTERED right before the DP law in CA was about to change to make the assets of gay couples community property. THIS OBVIOUSLY MEANS that there is in fact a large number of Gay Couples in long term relationships in CA who DO NOT want their assets to be community property and who do not want to be legally liable for their partners' debts.

It seems to us that the practical effect of The Gay Marriage Ruling in CA will be that the Gay Couples in CA who have lived together long term and who un-registered as Domestic Partners to avoid the "community property issue" will now be subject to Palimony Case Law.
