I have a question about divorce in case of a refugee in the UK. Me, my partner and daughter have refugee status in the UK, where they are dependants and I'm the main applicant. Our marriage is not registered in the UK, we got married outside the UK in 2014 when I had Tier2 Visa then, and I added my partner as a dependent on my Tier2 visa at that time using that foreign marriage certificate.
After we arrived in the UK on the Tier2 visa, I applied for a asylum and got refugee status and she got refugee status as a dependent in 2015.
1) How can I get divorce/remove my partner as a dependent in this case? Do I need to get an official divorce certificate first, although our marriage is not registered in the UK?
2) What will happen to her in that case? Will she be stripped from her refugee status and be sent back home?
