The further I get with the application the more questions/worries I seem to have! Can't wait to finally send it all off!!!! But one last question....

My Australian sponsor has a son from a previous relationship. He hasnt had contact with him for years (a very long story!) and his son has remained in Australia with his mother when my partner came to the UK (he has recidency here now). My partner stopped paying support and I dont think his ex has told her son that my partner is his dad! My question is... do I need to put that he has any dependent children when I fill in my form (I'm applying for the prospective marriage visa) as his son is not dependant on him as he has a completely separate life in Oz. However as he is 16 would he still be classed as depenedent? I don't want to lie on the appliaction but will it affect me getting granted a visa?

Thanks!
