Hey Computer Gurl,

That is a tough situation. palimony is beyond the subject of this website.

What I do know is that more than likely you'll be paying for your credit cards by yourself.
If your name is the only one on the cards, the credit card companies have nobody but you to collect from contractually.

Whether you've got any other marital type rights is beyond me.

Thanks for the post.

I hate to say it, but from the way you describe things, I think you're stuck. Unless you have receipts and serial numbers for things, there is no way for you to prove that you bought stuff for him. And even if you did have that kind of proof, you have nothing on paper that says he agreed to pay you back, and therefore owes you money. In fact, if you tried to sue him for alimony, since YOU kicked HIM out, if he's in a situation where you were supporting him financially, HE might be able to sue YOU for palimony.
This is all just speculation on my part, however. Clearly, you need to speak with a lawyer about this matter.

I am 23 yrs old and have been in a live in relationship for the last year. I have 3 credit cards which I used to buy things for our apartment. Some of these things were for my boyfriend which he asked me to buy and said he would pay me back.

I just kicked my boy friend out for reasons which I'm not going to say. I'm wondering if he is legally obligated to help me with my credit card payments since some of the stuff I bought was for him. Or should I just sue him for the money he owes me.

This is really crappy... I feel like i'm stuck with all of the bills, and my ex-boyfriend has no responsibilities. Is there a way that I can claim something like pal-amony, common law rights?
