I have friend who was married to a UK national. They lived in Spain. They are now divorced. She has lived in Spain for 10 years, has been legally employed and has a baby who has UK nationality. She is now on the point of renewing her Residencia.

I asked at the National Police Station and obtained a long list of paperwork which they believed was necessary. If followed it amounts to almost a new application as if she has had no ties with Spain.

I should be grateful to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation

Thanks, John
