Spanish term or phrase: convivientes de hecho
Hi!
How do you say "convivientes de hecho" in English in a legal context?

This is the example:

"con referencia a las situaciones listadas en los puntos a) y b), parientes directos y parientes en derecho hasta segundo grado, cónyuges no separados legalmente, convivientes de hecho, hijos de cónyuge o hijos de conviviente de hecho, personas a cargo ligadas por parentesco o afinidad"

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I like all the other answers too - just adding this as these are also possibilities that cover the same meaning as convivientes de hecho.
