Talk:Palimony in the United States

Discrepancy in article
Two direct quotations from this article:

"Maine is one of only three states that does not recognize any form of palimony."

"In 1983, only three states legally rejected palimony,[6] but, as of 2016, twenty-four states legally reject palimony."

Is the statement regarding Maine simply out of date, or is there something else incorrect? TooManyFingers (talk) 10:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Google research
Much of this article is a disaster. Most of the references start with "EL." and my mind-reading skills are not so hot so I have no idea what that means. The state-by-state sections appear to be the result of someone Googling for each state and converting the top result into a Wikipedia citation, however ill-advised. Most are SEO'd law blogs of dubious quality at best, some are straight up garbage user-generated answer sites like JustAnswer. In other cases the Wikipedian just wrote the results of their unfruitful Google search "Virginia does have palimony lawyers" and "Kansas- No information on Kansas palimony was found online." I really see no value to keeping these sections, if we want wildly unreliable Google legal advice we can just Google it ourselves and at least get up-to-date blogspam. --Here2rewrite (talk) 03:44, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
