I’m a Nigerian citizen married to a Slovenian for 4 years, and we have a 2 year old son. I have a temporary residence card for family member of an EU citizen and a Slovenian Alien’s passport. I recently obtained an EEA family permit on the afore-mentioned passport and I plan to visit my family in the UK for christmas in December. ( My story is a pretty sad and complicated one. My parents and siblings moved to the UK 7 years ago and I was continuously denied a visa every time I applied- 5 times. I was even denied 2 more times after getting married and moving to Slovenia from Poland until someone took pity on me and suggested I apply for an EEA family permit which I had never heard of. My parents and siblings currently hold British passports)
So My husband, Son and I will be travelling together to the UK in December.
Here’s the problem. My husband needs to be in Austria for a very important meeting 3 days after we arrive, and has to return to Slovenia.
My questions are:
1. Will he have any problems leaving the UK without me?
2. Will I have any problems leaving the UK unaccompanied by my husband?
3. In the event that I am allowed to return to Slovenia, will I be allowed back in the UK?
4. Does my son by any chance, pass as my family member?
I would really appreciate any advice whatsoever as we’re really confused about what to do now. We’ve nursed the thought of my husband coming back to pick me up, but it’s all too cumbersome as his company is extremely busy rounding up the books in December. If this is even possible, we’d be willing to turn to it as a last resort.
Help? Anyone? Thanks a gazillion in advance!

I do not know what type of residence permit you have for Slovenia, but let's assume that it lets you in and out of their country.

1. Your husband will have no problem leaving the UK without you.
2. You will have no problem leaving the UK on your own. There are no exit checks from the UK and even if there were you have a right of exit to another EU state.
3. Yes, if accompanying or joining your husband named on your EEA family permit and it has not expired.

Thank you so much EUsmile. I feel a tad relieved. I hold a residence card of a family member of a Slovenian citizen and I've travelled across Europe countless times without my husband.
One more thing I'm also confused about is this landing card. Am I supposed to fill it when I arrive at the border?

Of course! Can't see what else he'll pass as! You are worrying too much - enter the UK with your family permit and exit same. As a family member of a EU national you should have no issues visiting the UK at a later date.
