Cohabitation is a prerequisite for a palimony claim, and therefore a woman can't sue to enforce a promise of lifetime support from a man with whom she had a 70-year relationship, because the couple never lived together, the New Jersey Appellate Division has ruled. Despite being married to other people, the parties engaged in a 70-year relationship. In addition to buying the plaintiff real estate and gifts, the defendant paid her and her daughter a monthly stipend until his children took over his finances.
