Key Background Facts

31.The following facts are not disputed:i)KB suffered severe brain injuries at birth which have resulted in moderate to severe learning disability, epilepsy (now controlled), and some physical disabilities. She needs constant care. She has needed full time care all her life. AB has provided that care to her, assisted by her other daughter, CD, and son, EF, and in recent years by JK. GH has certainly helped out with chores but the extent of his caring role is in dispute. ii)At all relevant times AB has lived in a house in the Y area of London (“the family home”). From 2012 a flat in the Z area of London was rented in KB’s name (“the flat”). CD lived in that flat. AB, CD and EF say, but GH does not accept, that KB lived most of the time in the flat and sometimes stayed at the family home. iii)In recent years AB has made a number of visits to the African country of her origin, travelling with KB except for one visit in or about 2017 when she travelled alone for a period of about two weeks, leaving KB in London. iv)AB founded and runs the Church in London where she is a pastor. It has links to the African country of her origin. GH was also a pastor of the Church until his incarceration for the rape of KB.v)AB and GH were married in or around 2013, lived together at the family home from their marriage until in or about 2017, and remain married although GH moved out of the family home that year. vi)GH does not have indefinite leave to remain in this country. He made an unsuccessful claim for asylum. He obtained paid work as a cleaner using a false identity, namely the name and details, including the national insurance number, of a relative, KAS. He had a bank account in the name of KAS. GH has been convicted and sentenced for fraud by obtaining employment using this false identity. It was recorded in the criminal proceedings that he had hidden his employment from the immigration authorities, claiming not to be in work. He was not permitted to work because of his immigration status. Nevertheless, he did work and he appears to have had two cleaning jobs.
