Nope, and this is a common misconception. The MPA provides for the division of marital propery, and only applies to married persons.

The courts have on occasion provided for a division of property in cases of unjust enrichment (ie unmarried couple farms for decades together, he kicks her off the farm leaving her with nothing).
