I am so sorry to here this, maybe it is all the stress, I do hope things turn out OK.
I must admit what happens after you get your 139 is of interest to me as well. I am main applicant and it is my family that is sponsoring us. I have just acquired a good job and I wondered if we all entered the country, could my family i.e husband and children stay in Oz and I return and finish my contract. This would allow my children to start school, my husband to set up house and get us organised whilst I still have money coming in. This is not ideal but would give us breathing space to settle without the stress of finding jobs and settling kids in all at once.
I am so sorry about your situation and I hope that someone can clarify the applicants rights after the visa has been granted. Is your partner the main applicant or yourself. I know your partners family sponsored you but I am sure the issue would be who is the main applicant not who is sponsor related to?
I hope you can work this out and whether it is together as partners or friends you can start your new future.
