I am 17 and I live with my boyfriend who is 19. We do not want to get married but we want to be recognized as a unit. Can we be treated as being in an adult interdependent relationship?

As a minor, or person under the age of majority, you can be treated as being in an adult interdependent relationship if your relationship fulfills the tests set out in the Act. You cannot enter into an adult interdependent partner agreement until you are 18, unless your guardian gives a written consent allowing you to do so.
