Were these letters you've given him?

Letters to allow holidays with our son - he wrote - stating his home address was the U.K.

Divorce papers - he filled in his part stating his address was UK

Court papers - I'm filing these so I am putting his actual home address abroad but using his UK address for postal copy only.

My guess is that he is trying to avoid financial responsibility for his Thai wife/family somehow....though I can!!!8217;t imagine hi w, not knowing relevant legislation.
What a vile specimen, if so

Might be that he may ultimately want to register his Thai wife as a UK citizen. That's assuming of course that post Brexit anybody would opt to be a UK citizen, rather than a Czech / EU citizen. Just a thought.

The OP could even tell the court that because the father spends long periods abroad she is concerned about the child leaving the UK. Try to get it written into the visitation agreements that they must be in the UK.
If his home address is in the UK why would he have any problem with that?

Out of curiosity - why would he do this? Would it be benefit related? He keeps asking me to lie in paperwork and state he is domiciled/permanently resident in the UK which I refuse to do as its not true and also makes the whole child proceedings look weird because most of the visitation plan revolves around the fact that he doesn't live in the UK.

Domicile is a tax thing. E.g. if you were born in the UK you can retain UK domicile no matter how long you live abroad.

Permanent residence is an immigration thing. It applies to EU citizens.

If asked, the answer to either question should be 'don't know'.
