If your right to remain in the UK depends on your marriage, divorce affects immigration status as well as finances. This is specialist territory and worth getting advice on early.
Key points
- A spouse or partner visa is generally curtailed once the relationship ends, and the Home Office must be told.
- You may be able to switch to another route, for example as a parent or on private life grounds.
- Indefinite leave to remain, once granted, is not lost by divorce.
- There is a specific route for those whose relationship broke down due to domestic abuse.
