eea separated same as married

[bebe2]

hi
just a thought, a couple is seen as married until a decree absolute is issued, RIGHT?
my question is how is the ho turning people down for pr on the grounds .''you are not divorce'' which means they are still family members of eea and therefore are entitled to pr. any thoughts?

I think its cos if u r separated you are no longer able to enjoy ur ex-partners treaty rights which seems fair enough legally.

i dont agree with you , the regulation only talks about marraige and divorce. in the eyes of the law you are either married or divorced. or unless the separation is legal.
hence, its unfair to deny to deny one of pr.

What if the separation took place immediately after marriage? Fair then?

hmmm good point, i see what you mean . maybe the 3yrs rule should sort that out, i just think is a bit harsh to refuse pr becos they are not divorce . for some culture divorce is a taboo unlike here.
