How long were you married to your EU spouse? How long did the two of you reside together in the UK?
Do you have proof of your ex-EU spouse exercising treaty rights in the UK, in particular, of his exercising treaty rights on the day the decree absolute was issued?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I am a community worker and helping a young lady.
She was married on 31/01/2014 and the decree absolute was granted this year in May.
The lady applied for No Time Limit (NTL) and was informed that she did not need to apply for this. Her visa issued date is 25 September 2014 and renewal date is 25 September 2019.
The ex-husband is still in UK and is working full time. Does this mean that he is in UK under treaty rights?
I will try to respond as quickly as possible, once I get details required from the lady in question. thanks for your help and support, which is very much appreciated.
I trust above information is relevant and helpful.

NTL is not relevant to her.
She needs to apply for Retained Rights of Residence and PR in 2019.
