Document Summary
2 unrelated adults involved in an emotional & sexual relationship. Sleep in the same residence at least 4 nights a week for 3 months. Still illegal according to state laws in mississippi & michigan (repealed in florida: carolina & virginia last few years) Increasingly, high schoolers have positive views about cohabitation & endorse that it is a good idea before entering marriage. Testers (let"s try out this whole living together thing) Alimony maintenance (remarriage results in loss of alimony) Rebellious cohabitors (desire for independence from parents) In romantic couples, 1 individual"s desire to not cohabit will usually surpass the other individual"s ambivalent feelings. Many emerging adults tend to look at peers as models for cohabitation arrangements. About 40% of all children will spend time in a cohabiting household by age 12. Half of these with biological fathers, half with stepfathers. Transitions between cohabiting to single parent homes can be detrimental to child well - being.
