Hi
my partner is eu national with settled status and i am non eu national with settled status. My non eu mother just got her pre settled status(euss) recently
my query is if i get divorce what will happen to my mother's status and is there any way she can apply for retained rights. Just to let u know we have not started any legal proceedings yet regarding divorce.
Please any legal expert who can share the thoughts or advice will be much appreciated
thanks

Hello
Please read this page:
https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/retain ... -residence
In this scenario, I don't how a retained right of residence may come to action.
Yourself as a spouse, may get retained rights after a divorce, but not your mother.

Obviously if you are settled, your immigration status doesn't depend on you being married or in relationship. So if you are to divorce, nothing would change for you immigration-wise.
But for your mother, if she comes under EEA relative umbrella, a divorce or an EEA national leaving the UK can have an impact.

@RAW88 apologies for hijacking your thread, but would you please share your experience of applying for pre-settled status for you non-eu mother with me? I would really appreciate a "heads-up" on the types of documentation to prepare etc. My thread is:
