quick question

annacanna

if one parent is a permanent visa holder can he or she sponser their underage age AND the childs other parent?

i seen this on www.immi.gov.au

Sponsors the child and any of the child's family members also included in the application and who are migrating with the child.
If a Child visa is granted, the sponsor must provide support for the child, including accommodation and financial assistance required to meet the child's reasonable needs during their first two years in Australia.

Sounds like you want to sponsor an ex as in the child's mother as well.

Interesting one

This is your best bet

Dependants
If the child has dependants, contact the department or an
Australian mission for advice about including them in the
application.

or contact a migration agent.

It's a bit of a funny one because it says the 'child' has dependents, I would have thought it difficult to prove that an adult is dependent on a child.

Usually if you are over age of 18 and under 25 you must be a student and dependent on your parents who qualified for a visa themselves.

Maybe 'dependent' means a Child under the age of 18 who maybe had a dependent child themselves.

I think you might be getting the wrong end of the stick with this one.

I would check with a migration agent.

It was a friend that mentioned it to me a few days ago, when i looked up the goverment site it said:

"Sponsors the child and any of the child's family members also included in the application and who are migrating with the child.

Its not something im looking at doing myself in the near future but i just thought it was interesting
