Non-EU spouse residence - Norway and Denmark

[roxx79]

Dear All,
I am British and will hopefully be moving to Europe from Bangkok with my Thai partner and our two young children.

For my partner to gain a residency permit as my spouse, what requirements need to be met for Denmark and Norway?

We are lesbian and in a UK Civil Partnership and my partner speaks some Swedish. Neither of us speak any Danish or Norwegian. I am a teacher and hope to find a job in an international school. I love learning languages and will attempt to do so with gusto.

Can anyone shed light on:
a) the acceptance of my partner as my legal spouse in Denmark or Norway for the residence card,
b) on any language requirements
c) on any fabulous places to live (cities preferred) which will not be prohibitively expensive.

Furthermore, as an excellent English speaker, would she be likely to be able to get any work in a hotel (she is a very talented chef)?
Thanks,
R
