Does anybody know exactly what the embassy will require in our application reference this matter?

hello bruce welcome to the forum!!

yes your wife needs affidavit of parental(father) consent before the child is allowed to travel / settle abroad , dont forget that she also needs to prove sole custody and sole responsibility for the child visa process.

''A child cannot normally go to live in the UK if one parent is living abroad, unless the parent in the UK has sole responsibility for the child, or if there are special reasons why the child should be allowed to join the parent in the UK.''
