Hi everyone
Recently I submitted my application but could only choose if I was married, single or widowed. I am not married but have been in my partnership for over 10 years and have a child with my partner. I was not sure what to put for my relationship status so I put married and filled in my partners name etc.
Some definitions of 'spouse' say you do not legally have to be married but this has me worried about my application as it is not quite accurate (yet)
Will this have a negative effect on my application as I have a different surname to my partner and child?
Will I need to get married if I am a selectee for the DV lottery?
I am a New Zealander living in Australia.
Thanks everyone, any help or infor would be great
