Common-law partner's dependant Child

Hi everyone,

I have a question please about the definition/eligibility of a dependant child. My family members are my common-law partner, our baby boy, and my common-law partner's child (10 years old). Does my common-law partner's child qualify as my dependant child? (I mean is there any issue with including him in the application for express entry as a dependant child as I'm the main applicant ?)
I've been living with my partner since September 2018. If we provide proof of common-law partnership, her son's birth certificate and the Declaration from Non-Accompanying Parent/Guardian for Minors Immigrating to Canada form [IMM 5604] signed by his father and notarized, will it be sufficient?
Thanks in advance for your replies

That should be enough. I did the same, only that I was I am married.
