The Supreme Court has held that the traditional test of cohabitees is not black and white. One of the key elements of the test is that the sides live together as a couple and while intimate relations are presumed to be part of couplehood between a man and a woman, the Supreme court had held that a man and a woman can still be cohabitees when they cease to have intimate relations and even live in separate rooms. However, it is still much easier to prove the status of a cohabitee when a man and woman do have intimate relations and sleep in the same bedroom.
