Divorce of dependent wife, fate of the child.

Post by khalidjarrar » Mon Sep 26, 2022 5:16 pm

Dear Forum Members

I have come to the UK few months ago on a skilled worker visa to work as a doctor. My wife and 9 yo boy followed on dependent visas.

My kid is in school now. My wife has expressed her desire for divorce. She wants me to keep our son with me in the UK.

I need to know if after divorce my kid can stay in the Uk if my wife has to leave.

Thank you

Khalid

Your son can probably continue staying with you in the UK provided:

* as part of the divorce proceeding you get sole responsibility for his upbringing and

* you convince the HO that suitable arrangements have been made for his care and accommodation in the UK.

This is not a straightforward situation, obtaining professional assistance and representation would be advisable.

Note that the HO have to be informed if separation or divorce takes place.
Personal opinion, not professional or legal advice
