Allows written palimony agreements to be entered into without advice of counsel.
This bill removes the requirement that written palimony agreements must be made with the advice of counsel. Palimony refers to financial support promises between partners in a non-marital relationship, either during the relationship or after it ends. The bill amends New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 25:1-5) to align with a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that found the prior counsel requirement unconstitutional. It directly affects individuals entering such agreements by allowing them to be binding without mandatory legal advice.
