Very. Be prepared to spend a lot of money to pursue a palimony case, and have a good stomach for risk.

Not in Michigan. You MIGHT have a tort cause of action. Damages and your staying are the issue.

There are very few successful 'palimony' cases. Usually the cause of action chosen in these matters is 'unjust enrichment..' You'd have to show that you contributed thing of value which he is trying to retain. Find a good matrimonial lawyer in your area.
