any answer guys

generally it would be good to apply for retaining the rights of residence first before applying for PR. But since you will be eligible for PR in Nov 2011, you can actually just apply for PR and provide all the documents.
The Most Important being proof of the EEA national exercising treaty rights from initiation of the divorce until the grant of decree absolute.

Thx for your replay bobobo
So If I apply first to retain my rights , would I need my ex wife document again ones I apply for my PR .
Thank you

Dear Armanibloke. Although I haven't read it completely, you should
visit the Uk Border Agency website. You should find some direction to your
problem at:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/partn ... nshipends/

I think you HAVE to report the break up under the law but it will not
necessarily have negative consequences. In fact, if yuu don't report and get found out, it could be worse for you.
Good Luck
