i am living in uk for 2 years, i've been married since july 2009 but the my wife got the eea2 only in july 2010.
i have french passport and my wife have non eea citizen.
i spoke to her about divorce at jan 2011, since than we are separate( don't have children or any common wealth), more than that she refuse to divorce from me but still working, studying ( the school end at april 2011), what should i do? do i need to report it for somewhere? do i need to bring a letter for the school and job about our situation? is she eligible to stay here?

You are french and as long as you live and work in the UK, your wife is allowed to stay in the UK also. This is regardless of the fact that you are separated. Separation is not the same as divorce! For her to lose the right to reside here either you need to leave the UK for over six months or you need to divorce. The divorce is not easy if you do not have any grounds (5 grounds, you will have only 2 applciable to you as you have only been married 2 years). Either adultery on her part or unreasonable behaviour on her part! You must petition the court and pay £340 odd pounds and give grounds.
Is there no way you can get together and what do you do by the way?
P.S. you cannot really do anything by contacting either her school or workplace, she IS eligible to stay as long as you are also physically present in the UK and exercising Treaty Rights! Basically, she will have to leave if YOU leave! There will be a matter of evidence at that point though.
