““Cohabit” is defined in section 1 of the [Family Law] Act to mean “to live together in a conjugal relationship, whether within or outside marriage.” In Pope v. Pope, 1999 CanLII 2278 (ON CA), the Ontario Court of Appeal has found that the eligibility factor of being married is not “determinative of the meaning to be given to “cohabitation” in s.5(6)(e).” In that case, the court saw “no reason not to import the statutory definition (s.1(1)) of “cohabit into s.5(6)(e).”
