Hi, am having a major moral dilemma. Broke up with my 3 yr old boys father year ago whilst in throes of getting a visa to emmigrate to aus. Since we now split up and i wsa main applicant he has to come off the application. I am wiht my new partner, 39 wks pregnant and we have talked abt going (i hate england). But i know my ex will try to oppose it as we would be taking his son with us too. Its so hard. I feel so guilty as my ex has no life other than seeing his son. But then i am like well if i stay here i will be resentful and regret not taking the opportunity. generally my ex and i have a good relationship although this is v contentious at mo. if there was a way i could also get him over to aus to live then i would. I did hear that once my little boy was granted residency (after 2 yrs) he could sponsor his dad to move there. But then i heard the child has to be 18. Does anyone know abt this or have any experience/advice? Also am wondering what chances he has of stopping us taking child out? Was told as i had custody it would be easy enough but not so sure.

I'm no expert on all of this, but I have recently been looking into moving back to Australia with my English husband. I don't know if it will help, but you may find some of the immigration agencies (on the net) may be able to help you. Generally, I have found that you can have an initial telelephone conversation( be it brief but free) which might help establish your chances of immigrating.

HI jzee. Thanks for your email and good luck wiht moving back there. where will u go to?

My visa is alomost ready but have to take my ex off the form as we r not together now. Feel so guilty abt taking his son though. I just dont know how else my ex can get there though.I am torn as i feel my children will have a better life there than here but if i stayed it would purely be because of my ex and his relationship with his son.

How easy will it for u to get your husband there? Do u think it is better there than here?

Thanks

Wheezie
