If their marriage ends irrevocably and they are divorcing each other, it is not uncommon for immigrants with spouse or partner visas to change to parent visas. Our team of divorce and family law solicitors can assist you with applying for a Child Arrangements Order to the family court, which can serve as a foundation for applying to switch into the parent visa category, if the other parent of the child does not allow for you to have direct contact with your child. Once you transfer to the parent visa route after five years, your qualifying time for the ILR will begin over, and the time you spent on the spouse visa route will not be deducted from the five years you have to apply for the ILR.
