    On the objective test, the respondent did not treat the child as a child of the family and there was no common family unit: extremely limited contact over a decade, no shared residence, applicant and her parents controlled the child’s care and finances, and respondent did not exercise parental responsibilities. Therefore the daughter is not a 'child of the family' under s.2 and applicant cannot claim dependent relief for her.
