Then the chances of getting this visa are practically nil. From the HO's point of view, if the child has two married cohabitating parents, that is the most stable family situation the child could have. They should be able to move with their family anywhere in the world and adjust, perhaps not easily, but with a sound support structure in place. There are many references, on this forum alone, of couples who have been deported misguidedly believing that merely being the parents of a child who's lived in the UK for seven years will magically get them a visa. It doesn't work like that at all. The HO takes a look at the family circumstances, both in the UK and in potential countries they might live, and bases their decision on how reasonable it would be to expect the child to be able to adapt. Both parents being married cohabitating with the child is pretty much an automatic refusal. Throw in the fact that if you are both from the same country (are you?), the child can/will easilly attain citizenship of that country without question and it's all over for that application.
The only circustance that I've ever heard of a successful application on this route was borderline tragic, and the UK, to their credit, made the right decision.
You should seek other options.
