Does anybody know whether somebody visting the UK on a limited tourist visa and staying with me could be construed as cohabitation?

HI Kevin

there is no legal definationof co-habtitaion, but it generally meansto live together as a couple without being married.
If your friend is only staying on a limited visa, then this suggests the arrangement will not be a permanent one. I would suggest, if possible that you each have separete bedrooms (not saying you need to use both of them!), this way, you can insist, if need be, thatyour friend is merely visisting you for a period of time, and you are not co-habing.

Hope this helps - and enjoy your time with your friend!

ok, having a separate room, even one for show seems a good idea. I still think that my ex wife, who is living with her boyfriend, is going to go ballistic though.
