Thanks Verystromy, My daughter will be in full time education for 3 more years so that is ok. As my partner is stable with medication and Psychiatrist appointments , I will have to get an opinion on this. Not used to handling uncertainities like this . Steep learning curve for me !! Thanks

Hi Nemesis, Thanks a lot for your response. I am about to apply for 457 work sponsorship visa just for me & my 12 year old. As soon as its granted , I am going to apply for PR for Me & my 2 daughters ( 12 & 21 years old kids from our marriage ) and going to put my partners details on the PR application form. Once I move to Australia , will hire a good agent to sponsor him. Proof of our relationship - I am thinking of the grocery bills he paid weekly for all of us, joint holidays that we have gone together, photoes taken together , FB photos . He is psychiatrist working full time now on treatment well controlled. I am guessing he might have to find a job & come to Aus by work visa and then we prove of our relationship as we will be closer . Or as kids have PR , sponsoring a parent ?? Too long winded . I guess i will have to take one step and worst comes worst then back to UK . I have now contacted 3-4 Visa agents who might help me with some advice . Really appreciate your advice on this.

Hi Nemesis , Thanks for your reply. I have contacted 3 agents and waiting to get consultation with them. I am confused now. I am applying for PR now for Me & 2 girls and will move . Once we get PR , I want to sponsor him . If I cant get evidence of defacto relationship, then I am thinking of remarrying and applying for PR . I am confused big time thats why I keep posting to get reassurance I think. I will have a full consultation with Visa agent about the situation and also solicitor about legally declaring our relationship at the same time seperating finances due to medical reasons if possible. Really appreciate your help ! .Thanks for your advice in this regard.

Hi Everyone, How to show evidence for Defacto relationship for PR visa? If we cant do anything , is marriage a good idea ? any Pros & cons . My partner has bipolar , I am worried about finances as it will vanish on a manic spell . He is now well controlled with medication . 2 years back when he had mania , he completely went into bankruptcy . After 20 years of marriage , we divorced as he started the process without insight , 1 year he had to have treatment and stabilised , we got back together but living seperate only at nights. . If I marry then even my finances will vanish . If i can manage showing evidence of defacto for visa purposes and get advice from solicitor to keep finances seperate will be better . When they are manic they become totally insightless and spend money lavishly even when they know they are bankrupt and homeless. He has rented place of his own but stays with us for most of the day . He has some bills which come to our address. we dont have joint bank account but I can create one now and anyway going to apply for PR after 1 year. We have 2 girls who are his kids too. I know its difficult question to answer. Just writing on this forum helps me . Thanks Much appreciated.

Thanks a lot !

I am applying for 457 as well as PR now .We are living seperately at the moment . I have a 4 year job . Maybe after I get PR might have to sponsor him ! As we live seperately but have children together , was unsure if we can prove that we are still partners ! we were married for 21 years but following Bipolar manic episode , we were unable to live in same house hence divorced . Bit of nightmare story really. We are still friends and want him near us as we have 2 girls .

thanks will do. answers make you really supported !!
