Is the child EEA national?

Another possibility is to retain your own rights.

You can retain your rights if you get divorced and you have been married for at least 3 years and lived in the UK for at least 1 year.

You can't retain your rights if you are not divorced and the EEA national leaves the UK.

We have been together for 10 years, married for 3 years, 2 years in England.

can we get divorced in England even if the marriage is registered in Estonia?

So yes - you can retain residence rights either if divorced and meeting the requirements or based on the child rights.

See more Regulation 10 - in particular - 10 (3)(b), 10 (4) and 10 (5).

Yes, you can divorce in the UK if you were married abroad. It might take a year to finalise it.
1st you need to lodge a divorce petition and at the same time you need to submit a form outlining the arrangements for the child of the marriage.
2nd papers will need to be served on your husband. If, papers cannot be served on him then the process will take longer or if they are served but he disputes it and so on. If, papers are not served on your husband you will need to show that you have exhausted all methods of tracing him eg by explaining it in an application, then your option is to proceed with service to dipense-where you ask to court to finalise the divorce having exhausted all means to serve papers on the other side.

Hope it works out for you.

it will take about 14 weeks (3.5 months) for whole process of Divorce, if you will do by www.divorceonline.co.uk . My case is same, we did our marriage in Baltic-country, and now we are doing divorce because of our serious personal reasons.
