I have a spouse visa...but now gettin divorced

I've been working in the uk for a year and have a year left on my spouse visa, only problem is that my wife and i have separated and will be getting a divorce around december. Just wondering if the visa is still valid until it expires or whether i'm actually working here illegally. My wife has moved perminantly back to australia if that makes any difference.

It looks like i qualify for the hsmp so i'm going to look into switching my visa over to that shortly. Any advice would be appreciated.

As soon as the relationship is ended then the visa is no longer valid. You should leave the UK as soon as possible, and make the HSMP application while overseas. If you stay too long then you run the risk of getting the entry clearance on the HSMP refused.
