What evidence is considered?

It is important that a couple claiming a de facto or interdependent relationship is able to provide evidence that their relationship is consistent with a 'spouse-like' relationship.

Some of the factors to be considered in deciding whether the partners satisfy the requirement include:

• knowledge of each other's personal circumstances
• financial aspects of the relationship,
• joint financial commitments such as real estate or other assets and sharing day-to-day household expenses
• the nature of the household, including living arrangements and joint care and
• responsibility for any children of the relationship
• the social aspects of the relationship, provided in statements (statutory declarations) by friends and acquaintances and
• the nature of the commitment, including duration of the relationship, how long the couple has been living together and whether they see the relationship as a long-term one
