Practice question
An ordinary 26-year-old applicant meets the sixteen-year age difference but no 9(a) parent/spouse exception applies. Does the age difference alone satisfy both ordinary age requirements?
- Yes; meeting either requirement always eliminates the other.
- Yes; financial capacity automatically replaces age.
- No; because every applicant must be over sixty.
- No; the separate twenty-seven-year minimum is not met.
- Yes; only the child's surname matters.
