After December 2015, you cannot retain a right of residence if you are a family member with a right of Permanent Residence. ROR is inapplicable to your case and in my opinion it has no basis to your case.

It will all depend on the strength of the evidence you have. The second laywer may be correct on the timeline, but the first may be correct on the basis of the evidence you obtained from you EX.

Pick the second option. Also very importantly make sure you get all her treaty right from day one of your relationship till decree absolute is issued and yours from beginning till the end of your RC am sure you will be fine.

Hello,I am non EEa married to a EEa member ,married December 2011. Residence permit granted October 2012, my EEa ,presently things started going funny btw us ,so thinking of putting in a divorce .
My questions are ;
does Ho count the date on marriage certificate on date of marriage or the date the rc was issued ?
Secondly my ex to be wife is self employed ,what are the evidence to show she is exercising treaty right .she as been doing her tax return and paying class 2 national insurance contribution till date,will that be enough to show she is exercising treaty right?
As I understand I have to apply for Ror immediately aster the decree of absoulte been issued .
Thanks
