Got into the UK 2 years ago on wife's Work Permit. We brought in a child who is now ten and we also have another who is just over one year (Born in teh UK). We ran into some problems a year ago and seperated; we are now considering divorcing. What are the implications on my stay in the UK?

I assume your wife is still on a work permit. If so, you will lose your dependent's visa and will need to return home, or alternatively apply for your own visa.

does it mean the spouse of someone on WP can not remain in any other capacity?

You can if you qualify for a visa on your own accord, such as a work permit, HSMP, student visa, etc.

There may be a visa related to access to your children, who are here with their mother, but I don't know the rules on that one.

There is no visa for contact to children for spouses of work permit holders.
