It's better if you retain your rights before travel and to avoid trouble on a way back in the uk.

Hi there,
As I said I was married in x2007.entered in the UK in Aug.2009 family permit.got RC in March 2010.
Divorce started march 2013,decree absolute granted 2014.as I am advised advisors I do not have to apply for retain of rights as it is automatic under EEA law and I can travel too.
I do not send my documents now as my PR is due in Aug 2014.
Current RC is valid till 2015.
My question is if I do not apply for a new RC or confirmation.and if I travel next month and take all original documents with me,would there any problem on return?
Any body did same? Plz share.
I am sure there would be some one in same situation.
