Relationship Breakdown, need help

Post by Elsie00 » Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:36 pm

Hi everyone,
I'm really in need of good suggestions.
I'm a dependant to a foreign national on tier 1 visa. I came in 2008 with my daughter who was 10 months at the time and now also have a 1 year old boy as well. My relationship with my husband since we came to UK has been rocky. I have worked hard all through, supported him financially when he was at school and have tried to please him. In a nutshell, I will liken myself like a slave(I'm sorry to use the word) and tried to make my marriage work for the sake of my children. I have developed high blood pressure on the process and currently on medication.
About a year ago, immediately after the birth of my son, my husband resigned from his job, took all the money and left me without any support/ even money. I was left to care for two children on my own. However his visa is still valid so I was able to return to work to survive.
Few months ago, he started threatening me and my family. He was first threatening to commit suicide and then started threatening to take my children away from me. He is not in the UK at the moment.
Is there a possibility for me to apply for a visa outside immigration rule for me to still stay legally on my own with my two children? I have been here since the past 4 years and 8 months and haven't traveled out of the country?
If I take the children to him, the men always win from where I come from and he might succeed in taking the children from me. moreover he's very unstable and won't be able to look after them as he's got no job. I will really appreciate good suggestions.
If possible I wouldn't want to go home as I left there a very long time and wouldn't know where to start from and I have my two children to care for plus my health issues. Another reason is that he might come after me and take my children from me.

You need to seek legal advice. Which area of the country do you live in?

Eastern part.
I have tried to ask a lawyer my options, he said i could apply based on my current leave (but I don't know if that will be possible as my main applicant won't be supporting me.) or go for asylum which I'm kind of reluctant about.
All I just want is a quiet life with my children and try to mend my heart without anybody trying to cause me more pains which is practicallly impossible should i return home.
