it rests on an agreement between the spouses that they will live apart. The pouses may also agree on the proprietary consequences which are to operate while they live apart, the payment of maintenance, occupation of the matrimonial home, parental responsibilities and rights in respect of their children, and so forth, but their agreement does not bind third parties.
