i have just received the decree absolute of my divorce brief history: got married in may 2003 granted the family permit in 2006 divorce in may 2010.
i asked my solicitor whether i should informed the HO he said there is no need to as i will just apply for pr in sept 2011. is the solicitor right?
my second question is this as i am planning to travel to my country wouldn't the home office try to cancel my visa? my ex has always worked during all the time we were together and i have most of the payslips
thanks

You have to inform HO as clearly stated on the letter accompanying your resisdent card .If there is any change in circumstances with your eea member HO should be informed, divorce is a significant change so inform HO to be on a safer side.Sometimes solicitors can get things wrong so do not assume they are always right and remember this is your life but not the solicitor.
thank you

How long have you married? The marriage should be three years or more and one of you should be in UK for at least one year. You can get divorce through a lawyer or DIY stuff by applying through court on your own.I think the divorce fees to the court is £340 i.e decree nisi + decree absolute. How long will depend on the circumstances between you and your wife.It could be 3 months or more.

4 years in march and we lived in the UK for 4 years (will be in July).
Could we have a divorce between Polish and Belarussian couple in the UK?
Would it be same cost?
Thanks
