Obie whay if i dont make it in time to be on the UK and im divorced even before i apply for a family permit?

Im in Cape Town, any request to a UK court takes a couple of weeks to get to them anyway.

Noajthan, would you be so kind as to NOT comment on my post please.

Thank you in advance.

Obie can we dicuss the issue at hand in more detail via a different form of communication, certain replies on here, is a bit upsetting to read.

Thank you Obie...and thanx to Casa for clearing things up too. I will need to just save up for the £250 (South Afican currency at the moment is a bit sad) for the application. Lets say the divorce is finalised, even before I apply for the family permit...will it decrease my chances then? Obie, apolo...

Hi Obie

The Ancillary relief order, this seems possible only when im in the UK. They mention about attending court hearings etc.

I will go ahead and apply for the family permit.

Is it possible to contact you personally? Your advise has proven to be very valuable.

Obie i have never given up my parental rights and i never will. Yes i know where they live now.

What do you suggest i do now, apply for the court order 1st and then the family permit? The divorce letters are being sent, directly from the court.

Bothered you say, I had tried on several occasions ON MY OWN!!! I dont need to justify my past/current actions to you. I suggest you keep your negativity to yourself, you have provided more than you fair share of advice! Please do not reply to this post, please do not.

Thank you.

Your reply brings tears to my eyes (seriously) I will definitely find out about Ancillary relief, how do I enquire about this though? I'll be honest the Family permit worries me a bit, as i mentioned before i dont have any of my wife's wage slips or her ID/Passport. Should i still go ahead and apply...

Obie im listening...its really disheartning to hear that all the replies i have received so far, have been negative. Any suggestions then? To be honest, im not really not sure what to do anymore at this point.

Your feedback on this matter would be much appreciated.

As the other guys have pointed out, this is a hopeless situation. There is nothing legally to contend with. Non-eea dad has no rights whatsoever, thats my conclusion, with all the replies im receiving. I think il start writing letters to my daughter, hopefully they dont get returned to sender. Guys ...

Yes i agree the EAA option is shut, got that thanx. My surname originates from German decent but thats a waste of time too. My great granddad was from Germany...so i dont think thats gona work. Il stay stuck here in South Africa and hope that my daughter reaches out to me as she gets older as il con...

I understand. I forgot to mention too, that for my FP application in 2013, I had no supporting documents from my wife and my FP was issued. Once I was in the UK, I then applied for my Residence card, sent off the forms but was denied. Reason...no supporting documents for EEA exercising her treaty ri...

That is very sad to hear and your reply is much appreciated, however correct me if I'm wrong. Does the HO website not mention, a retained right of residence can be obtained even though a marriage has broken down? Here's the tricky part I must admit and somewhat confusing, they state that yes it is p...

The last time I was in the UK was in 2013 and we have been married since October 2007.

Hi Guys I am a South African and yes my divorce will be finalised in 6weeks time in the UK. I receive letters from the court, informing me of the proceedings. My eea wife and 9 year old daughter live in England. My question is: How can I apply for a family permit, if I have no supporting documents f...
