2Per curiam
The parties entered into a separation agreement in 1971, providing for alimony and support of the sole child of the 14-year marriage. In August, 1974 plaintiff husband sued for conversion of the separation agreement to a "no-fault” divorce under subdivision (6) of section 170 of the Domestic Relations Law. Defendant counterclaimed for divorce on grounds of abandonment under subdivision (2) of section 170. The trial court found that inasmuch as the parties had "cohabited” during the period of separation, neither was entitled to a divorce. Only plaintiff appeals.
