could it be Spousal Support not sure i know what i'm thinking Ann

They are trying to separate me from my 'pooter!! Thay'l be lucky..... M x

St Ann's it is then!!! :-) It's ok, Ill be back at work Monday and then shan't be able to distract!

LOL had forgotten we had mentioned them!! Thought you meant because all the posh people down there are lawyers etc!! Don't know where those men went from outside......they didn't come in here after all......! There is someone here putting up some rather attractive PADDED wallpaper though.........and there's a locksmith here too...... Oh........ Merry

I was thinking of the place where there are men in white coats..... with nice views of the sea!! Sorry, I do distract from the main theme........... :-)

LOl Joy...my nextdoor neighbour is a Judge! Wouldn't ask him coz he gets on my nerves!! Merry

That's it....that's it!!!! It's maybe not the payment that has the name but the action brought against him by the ''wronged'' husband: ''Enticement of Spouse'' I can find that this was repealed in Ireland in 1981 along with ''Breach of Promise'' too.....Can't find a date for Eng but prob around the same time!! Thank you Clive!! Merry

Merry - pop down Canford Cliffs Road, or somewhere near there!! :-)

I think 'enticement' is part of it

Kate, it is also spelt 'Alimoney' Copy and pasted from google! -- ALIMONEYALIMONEY Alimoney, alimoney I work till my fingers are bloody and boney ... She calls it alimoney, alimoney Yeah, you single men may think it's funny ... www.banned-width.com/shel/works/alimoney.html - 6k - Lib:))

Something like personal damages?

Ummmmm....No, I don't think so....fumbling with google at the mo..... ('spect my uncle did some fumbling too!!! LOL) Merry

Good morning Merry, could you mean Punitive damages? Ann

It isn't alimony, because that is 'an allowance for support made by one spouse to the other pending or after their divorce or legal separation', so not paid by a third party. And the spelling is alimony, it doesn't have anything to do with the word 'money'! I guess what you are talking about must have been repealed by a divorce act, so maybe if we look through the divorce acts we might figure it out... Kate.

Would recompense come into it anywhere Merry?

Alimony is paid by one spouse (or ex-spouse) to the other.....this payment was for the man being ''wronged'' by the co-respondent. It is something that no longer exists. If only the dead brain cell in my head would shift itself, I might find the word lying underneath.......I know I do KNOW it!!! LOL Oh no....(looks out of the window) .........men in white coats..... Aaaagggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Merry

'Alimoney/Alimony'

So did I Andrew, but that's not it either!! Palimony: Support paid by one half of an unmarried partnership after the relationship ends and Patrimony: An inheritance coming by right of birth (especially by primogeniture) do I think it begins with P???! Goodness knows! Merry

Merry Do you mean'Alimoney'

I have the word 'palimony' stuck in my head, but perhaps that's just something American involving the rich and famous...!
