My wife wants me to leave our home.

This is not the case Joe

For example.....A filipina here on a spouse visa and she has child/children....The husband turns out to be an abuser. The filipina and children can then go to a womens refuge/shelter for the abused....best look online, they are all interlinked Nationwide.

If she's genuine, her case worker will get her, her British Citizenship (government funded) and social housing along with sorting out her benefits.

I'm not sure whether the pinay has to have ILR first before being allowed into a shelter..which begs the question, if she hasn't, where does she go to escape the abuser?....I'll hazard a guess, that she'll still get into the shelter and still get her Government funded ILR.

gWapito if she is a victim of domestic violence why should she go back to her own country ? its not her fault her husband is violent and she would need evidence of domestic violence, doctors report, police report etc. they have a right to be protected especially if they have children who are British citizens

also if not a victim of DV, and they have children she can apply for 'best interests of the child' to stay and see her child.


no they don't need ILR, they need to be a victim of domestic violence.


5yrs is along time, not many will stay with someone they dont like for 5yrs just to get ilr !, sure it happens but going from my experience on here , that's rare, and if you have concerns about your wife just wanting ILR then you've got doubts about your relationship ,why did you marry in the first place

also 5yrs is unfair what happens if your spouse works straight away when she arrives in the UK, shes paid tax for 5yrs before she can claim any benefits , yet Europeans working in the UK can after months

Joe, I DID NOT imply it was wrong for filipina to stay here and get protection without ILR

What I said was, I wasn't sure on the legal aspect,

She would NOT NEED doctor's and/or police reports to be believed to gain entry into a refuge..I know!!...Although, if you have not such documentation, it would help your cause if you turn't up at an unearthly hour with babies under your arm. The benefits far outweigh the inconvienence

Once they are in the refuge they have total protection against everybody including the authorities...In my case, it took roughly 10 weeks for the legal wheels to start moving.

I'm not rubbishing these establishments They serve the honest and law abiding well

i wasn't talking about a refuge, i was talking about her staying in the UK if their relationship broke down. she WOULD NEED evidence of DV if she wanted to stay in this country and apply for FLR\ILR.

She would need to gain entry to a refuge first..this is only place of protection against the abuser....After contacting the police, this would be the next course of action for all female victims of DV.

My wife didnt even call the police...when the police found her, they took her word for all she said..no questions asked...I was then deemed guilty until I was proven innocent 75 days at a cost to date of £5,689....what a wonderful legal system we have

I have another court hearing in December...That'll be another thousand or so..just in time for Christmas. This folks is just to establish on going contact with my boys...

'try to be positive'..... That's a laugh
