has been discussed here more than many times, therefore I won't spare you to do some work yourself:

Read Article 13 from this .pdf, which contains Directive 2004/38/EC in full:

Good luck!

Hi there,

I will try and explain to you in an Irish context and hopefully you will get the gist.

I’m an Irish man and living in Ireland I married an Indian woman in Ireland in 2006, after 2 years and 2 months, we split up. She wasn’t in a rush to answer my solicitor’s letters for legal separation, so now I’m seeking Judicial separation (very exp) through the Irish courts. She cant ignore this process. Her visa expires in November 2010. I will have my legal judicial separation by March or April 2010.

I have spoken with dept of justice, GNIB and also with the new section “spouse of a Irish national sectionâ€

ok, as far as i know if you and your wife lived together as huband and wife for three years since you got married your permanent application for residency will not be effected and if you did not live for 3 years then it is up to the minister to decicde based on your own criteria.

You are obviously talking about Irish law while the OP made it very clear that he/she is in Ireland under European law. In that case the requirements are three years marriage in total and one year in the host member state. The OP must also be able to support him/herself. Only then will he/she be able to retain right of residence under EU law.

Guys, please make it clear for me, the 3 years living (as husband & wife) together on the bases of EU spouse, start counts from date of marriage or from the date of Stamp 4EU FAM.

Hi Guys,
In my particular case and Im sure its same across the board here in Ireland. It starts from the date of the first stamp 4 in the passport, which in normal situations should follow soon after a marraige.
