Hi,
We are from the UK, and my partner has been offered a job in Australia, and we plan for myself and my 6 year old daughter to join him. However my daughter is from another father who has had no contact with her and he is based around 300 miles from us.
From what i am aware of, we need her biological fathers consent to grant her a VISA, or go through the courts. If i can get his consent, is it just a case of him signing a form (from what i have found online on the border.gov.au site Consent to grant an Australian visa) and sending it back to us, or do we need to get a solicitor involved and witnesses etc.
If we do need solicitors, are there any requirements to which firm, and/or any recommendations?
Many thanks,
Louise.
