I do not think so there is any law/rule that prohibits children to live or to travel to the UK with a parent while the other parent is not traveling to/living in the UK. However, other parent's consen...

Re: Is it a contradiction?

And if everyone front-loaded their application with additional evidence to support (if requested) any answer they may possibly and theoretically ...
