    3if they are living together—how long and under what circumstances they have lived together

    4whether there is a sexual relationship between them

    5their degree of financial dependence or interdependence, and any arrangements for financial support, between or by them

    6the ownership, use and acquisition of their property, including any property that they own individually

    7their degree of mutual commitment to a shared life

    8whether they mutually care for and support children

    9the performance of household duties

    10the reputation, and public aspects, of the relationship between them

    NoteAn example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
