TANZER, J.,
concurring.
I concur entirely with the majority opinion that cohabitation by the custodial parent is one fact to consider along with all others in ordering or modifying *724custody, but I come to the same result for an additional reason.
The order is in the nature of a permanent injunction to refrain from performing an act which is not illegal. It reads:
"* * * Neither party shall cohabit with a member of the opposite sex while the minor children are in their custody unless they are man and wife.”
To place the parties under the threat of contempt throughout the minority of the children seems unwise and unwarranted except possibly in extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, I concur that the decree should be affirmed except as modified by the elimination of that clause.
