Divorce Court Needed

Joanne Gibeault gave up her cabinetry business and spent her days caring for her partner's ill parents. She was told to screw off by her now-ex when a younger lady found her way between the two.

Gibeault is filing a palimony suit, one of the state's first for same-sex couples.

"All I want is what married people would have if it happened to them,” says “She promised it to me. I am 53 years old. I don't have a lot of time left before I retire.”

Gibeault can't actually file a palimony suit, since the state doesn't recognize any form of same-sex relationships.

Gibeault is taking her ex to civil court, alleging they had a verbal contract that all of their assets, which are in the ex's name, would be shared.
