Would a man and woman who are meet at weekends, staying in one of their apartments alternatively, but who do not cohabit during the week, be regarded as common-law spouses, if he also contributes to her rent ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 27 June, 2022No ! Cohabitation at weekends alone is insufficient to meet the criteria for common-law spouses or cohabitees, even if one party contributes financially to the other’s rent. Cohabitation under one roof is a key element which is missing her and financially contribution towards the rent does not make up for this.’
