Guest Mikekat Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I didn't have a stat dec - unfortunately had to go down the court order route, which was costly but worth it. Also had to fill in form 1229 from DIAC - consent form to grant an Australian Visa to child under 18. Both my Ex and I had to provide our details and sign in front of a witness (court official witnessed). We also had to provide a copy of the non emigrating parents (my Ex) passport bio page, which was a certified copy c/o his solicitor. I would approach your ex as soon as possible, as if he refuses to allow you to remove your son from the juristiction, it can be quite lengthy in court, and your visa won;t be granted until you have his consent. Good luck and hopefully you'll be fine. If you do have to apply to court, let me know and I can advise what you'll need to do, as it is still very fresh in my mind.

kellyjamie Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Thanks everyone, i know this is a subject which comes up regularly on PIO. I honestly cant tell what hes going to say? he has had minimal contact with our son for the last 18mths due to the fact my son detests his partner and her daughter and my son refuses to go to his house so his father has only seen him a handful times in the last 18mths he knows theres problems with our "whole" situation and so we are meeting all 3 of us next week and its then that i,ll ask him, we actually get on fine now and its civil between us so because of that i honestly cant tell which way i think he,ll go? he has never payed a dime in child support for 7 years he and his mrs are fiddling the social and my son wants to change his name to his step dads surname so i have a few tricks up my sleeve if he wont cooperate!

Guest Boxertony Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 HI guys, can someone please advise.

Regarding your query about Statutory Declaration. Yes you have to get your ex-partner to sign a Statutory Declaration and a Form called 1229, which is titled Consent Form to Grant an Australian Visa to a Child Under the age of 18 years old. Both of these forms have got to be signed by your ex partner and in front of Solicitor or Judge. I am currently going through a nightmare trying to get my ex-partner to sign these two papers, my daughter is 16 years old and I have had full custody of my daughter from her birth and she has told her natural mother she wants to emigrate to Australia etc. But the ex partner is still refusing to sign the papers. So my daughter and I have now lodge a court hearing to take my ex partner to court. This can be done yourself, I did not use a Solicitor, far to expensive. I just paid £175 and completed 3 forms all of them called C100 : Application Under the Childrens Act 1989 for a Residence, Contact or Other Section 8 Order and took them to my local court, just awaiting now for my Court Hearing, if your ex is anything like mine god help you, I would ask him if he says no way, which most parents would do, and quite understandable, then dont wait around and keep trying to talk to him. Because this just delay things. When you actually go to Court try to gain form a buisiness plan, for instance, What job prospects have you got, where you hoping to live, what will you do financially, what about your child/ren access/contact to their absent parent, for instance using Skype, MSN Messenger, telephone, free staying over holidays for your ex, which school they may attend, etc. Good look if you need anymore help then do not hesitate to contact me, my personal e-mail address is tony.smith1969@talktalk.net Tony, Jane and Nathan (20) - Shannon (16) - Charlotte (10) - Newcastle upon Tyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
