Can anyone tell me where the recipient of under a globalised maintenance order stands when it comes to co-habitation? The court order only stipulates 'marriage', not co-habitation as a reason to end the order. If someone in receipt of maintenance still had a legitimate need for that income even if they were co-habiting, what would the court/law's opinion be of that? Would they consider it grounds for reduction/ending the ordered maintenance?

It would depend on what the court order says.
They often state cohabitation over six months as a trigger but it is very difficult to prove in many cases.
