Permanent Residence or Retention of Rights

[mooi008]

Hi,

I've been married for over 5 years to an EEA National, the decree absolute was issued recently and we are now divorced. Unfortunately, my wife is unwilling to assist me in terms of providing P60's etc. We share a five year old daughter, I have access rights to my child and we have a written parenting plan in place endorsed by our mediators.
Considering my wife is unwilling to assist me with any documentation, Do I apply for Retention of Rights? or Permanent Residence? (as I was married to her for 5 years)

Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It is a tough one, but in the absence of evidence, you can only rely on the Secretary of State or the court to seek assistance, giving them as much information of her work place as you can.

Agree with Obie. If you have completed 5 years of residing under the EEA regulations, then apply for confirmation of PR.
