Palimony is based upon promises made during a relationship and reliance upon those promises

so that the person to whom the promises were made did not undertake opportunities for financial advancement.

Call me if you like.

Yes. It is called Palimony.

Whether you are entitled to palimony, and what amount a Court would award to you will depend on the facts of the situation. You have to talk this over with an attorney.
