Hi everyone,

First-time poster, needing advice please:

I am an Australian citizen married to an EU Citizen, I have been in the UK since 2012. Imminently about to get divorced and wanted to gauge thoughts on residency post divorce:

- Arrived in the UK in 2012
- Obtained EEA Residence Permit (was valid for 5 years) for Myself and Children - successfully obtained based on EU status of spouse.
- Obtained Permanent Residence in 2017 for Myself and Children - successfully obtained based on duration of time spent in the UK and EU spouse. My Permanent Residence Card states:


TYPE OF PERMIT: PERMANENT RESIDENCE
REMARKS: WORK PERMITTED / EU RIGHT TO RESIDE.
VALID UNTIL: 2027.


!!! The Big Question is: Does divorce impact my ability to reside and work in the UK?


Thanks for your time, and appreciate your advice.
