My partner is getting divorced and his wife states we are co-habiting. If I stay up to, or more than, four nights a week at my partner's house, is this classed as co-habiting?
My partner is getting a divorce and his wife is stating that we are co-habiting. Although I do stay quite a few nights, we are not living together. I have my own house in my name and also a job 100 miles away, this is why I stay overnight. If I stay up to, or more than, four nights a week at my partner's house, is this classed as co-habiting?
There is no statutory definition as to how many overnight stays per week constitute co-habitation. If it is an issue with regards to the financial settlement being reached between your partner and his wife, you could be called upon to file a statement as to the nature of your living arrangements.
