BBC NEWS WITH USEFUL LINKS;
Sab. You got a point and I believe lady already has indefinite leave alreay or British citizenship; without Snuggels knowing actual status of her?
Also after 7 years of marriage to a British citizen without proper status, that can cause marriage problems amongst other domestic issues for divorce?
It appears this lady is the victim; was weaker, vulnerable to be exploited, abused and advantage taken by her partner

Now u have completely gone off track!
We could go on & on with this - I have never found it written otherwise but The Gambia's first language is English - so how do the UK Border Agency not reconize this?
The UK Government & Home Office information & history state it.. |

Interesting point SAB and thank you for your previouse input as I think it answered my question So back to the thread
No KOBO your assumption is wrong The lady does not have British Citizenship as Im told by the husband she has taken the nessersary tests and failed them she is still in the Uk with visa status
No Kobo I think you are wrong
To me being together for 7 years proves they were in love when they married not as you say
"It appears this lady is the victim; was vulnerable to be exploited, abused and advantage taken by her partner"
My own thoughts are to use a Gambian lawyer because it is cheaper than useing a Uk one is not maybe the best thing to do
Why because I think the Gambian Judge will consider the wellfare of the Gambian lady more favourabaly than the toubab in the disposing or shareing of any assets. Any judgement he makes as we now know from Sabs input it is also binding under UK law So I think this guy is in for a rude awakening
If he thinks he can just walk away and his wife Pursues the Gabian judgement in the Uk He will have to pay the costs So not so cheap after all

Snuggels. Did you refer to links properly. "Unmarried" after married but split up and/or were living as couples (civil partnerships) or as married couples before divorce?
Its the family law discussion package for divorce and separated partners (who were living together as married couples)
From "Unmarried couples: What rights do they have?" above, this followed;
quote:
"Married Couples"
- Contrast this with the position for married couples. On divorce, the court has wide discretion to make whatever order is fair and all assets of both spouses are a part of a pool available for distribution.
- The court can make a wide variety of orders on divorce including an order for the payment of a lump sum, property transfer orders, orders for maintenance for the spouse and for the children, orders varying certain types of trusts and pension sharing orders."

Legal points of contention before the court is about pool of resources and property rights jointly contracted together at time of living together as partners (especially married couples) available for distribution after separation
I RECKONED AFTER SEPARATION EACH INDIVIDUAL IS LEGALLY ENTITLED TO WHAT PRIVATELY BELONGS TO YOU AND WHAT YOU HAVE EARNED BY YOURSELF AND IF YOU WANT YOU CAN PATRONISE YOUR PARTNER ON IT; THROUGH PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT, WILL OUT OF GENEROSITY AND COMPASSIONATE GROUNDS!
Also without a child on marriage there may be no maintenance or spousal support after divorce and separation |

YES YES YES You could fill a library
My point was I thought the guy is wrong in seeking divorce in Gambia
and is in for a shock and what was the legal status of any judgement made by the Gambian judge in the Uk This has been answered by Sabs input Its binding in both countries
So the topic for me is now closed
Just one thing Please Please Please dont bring to the thread poor exployted Gambian There is realy no need This was about a couple who fell in and out of love YES IT HAPPENS

I dont think so Momoudo
I quote Kobo
"It appears this lady is the victim; was vulnerable to be exploited, abused and advantage taken by her partner
All this was about was a couple who fell in and out of love
She wasnt a victim or exploitedm it happens every day
