Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Boechler v. Boechler, 1976 CanLII 917 (SK QB):
With respect, I accept the definition of cohabitation given by Lord Goddard C.J. in Wheatley v. Wheatley, [1950] 1 K.B. 39 at 43, [1949] 2 All E.R. 428: “The cohabitation of two people as husband and wife means that they are living together as husband and wife, the wife rendering wifely services to her husband; the husband rendering husband-like services to his wife. They must live together not merely as two people living in one house, but as husband and wife”.
