There is no minimum time period that a couple must live together
before they have the right to pursue a palimony or Marvin action.
Many people are under the erroneous assumption that there is
a magical cut-off date after seven years in California before
they can bring a Marvin claim or be targeted by one.
The length of time that the parties lived together is certainly
a relevant factor in analyzing the merits of a Marvin claim based
on an implied or oral breach of contract theory. But the real
question presented in such cases is whether an agreement —whether
expressed or implied— was established between the parties
which can be enforced in court. The fact that the alleged agreement
was supposedly made after only the first six months of living
together will not bar a party from pursuing a Marvin action.
