Just a quick update. The SLC have asked for evidence of estrangement and a copy of the divorce papers. He has broken up from his course for the summer and is staying with his nan for a few weeks before heading back down to London to move into a shared house where he will live for the next however many years. So to answer GothicStirling's question above no, he wouldn't be living here if he wasn't at uni and not because he's not welcome but because he finds it too stressful here for a variety of reasons.
