Palimony in Colombia?

Last night during a friendly get together at my house the subject of Palimony came up. No one seemed to know much about it only saying they think that it exists. Any help here on PBH? We are just damn curious about it and variables like 'man unfaithful', 'woman unfaithful' etc. What's the scoop?

Palimony: An allowance for support made under court order and given usually by one person to his or her former lover or live-in companion after they have separated.

Webmanco: es la pencion alimenticia (al conyuge).

Break The Word Down.. and you got it. P(al) + alimony.

Palimony is a phrase coined by journalists -- not a legal concept -- to describe the division of property or alimony-like support paid to one partner in an unmarried couple by the other after a breakup. Members of unmarried couples are not legally entitled to such payments unless they've made an agreement about it.

In the famous case of Marvin v. Marvin, the California Supreme Court ruled that a person who lived with a partner and later sued for support could argue that an implied contract existed between the partners. To avoid a battle over palimony, it's wise to create a written agreement that speaks to whether or not one partner will make payments to the other in case of a break-up.
