Hi, I am applying for my wife's 2nd 2.5 year partner visa and they are asking if I have children with another person. I have one daughter from a previous relationship and have had standard access since she was born. Nothing changed when me and my now wife got married 2.5 years ago. Visa application Gov.uk is asking loads of questions about my daughter and then asking for evidence of my wife's contact with my daughter. Also a written signed letter from my ex saying its ok, also utility bills from where my daughter lives with my ex!!! Never seen this before! What the hell! Who asks their Ex to help them with their new wife's visa! There are no issues at all with my daughter visiting us. But I still dont really want my ex in our private business (Visa application) Can anyone advise on this bit. Can I ignore the request for signed letters and utility bills etc?
Summary so far
The user is facing frustration regarding their wife's second partner visa application, which asks for extensive information about his daughter from a previous relationship, including evidence of contact between the daughter and the new wife, a signed letter from the ex-partner, and utility bills from the ex-partner's residence. The user feels uncomfortable with the requirement to involve their ex in the application process and seeks advice on whether they can ignore these requests.

Ignore the request and expect refusal. Surely you can speak to someone to voice your concerns, with a view to amending the requirements, but at the end of the day, if you want to risk refusal and loss of the application fee, ignore the request at your peril. Contact your ex first to see if there will be any objections on her part to supplying the information requested. Pride comes before a fall.
