Cohabitation in Ontario
In Ontario, cohabitation is defined as "to live together in a conjugal relationship, whether within or outside marriage.” This inclusive definition extends to same-sex couples as well. The Family Law Act (FLA) of Ontario provides certain guidelines to ascertain whether a couple is cohabiting. These guidelines encompass both apparent factors like living and sleeping together, and less evident ones such as the sharing of household tasks. The evaluation of cohabitation often hinges on a combination of these factors, making it a complex process that requires a nuanced understanding of the law.
