    FCMC15524/2014

    On an objective assessment of post-marriage conduct taken as a whole — including the husband's active introduction of CH as his son at the wedding, proposals to change CH's surname, signing the student handbook as father, regular household payments and pocket money, and the husband's prior sworn acknowledgement in Form E — the court concludes CH was treated by both parties as a child of the family and is therefore a child of the family for the purposes of ancillary relief.
