My spouse or cohabitant has abused me or my child

---

If you were granted a family immigration permit with your spouse or cohabitant and you have since divorced or separated, it is normally not possible to renew your family immigration permit.

If you or your child has been abused by your spouse or cohabitant, you can instead apply for a residence permit for those who have been abused.

You or your child may apply for a residence permit for victims of abuse.

More information is available on what can be considered violence or abuse and how to get help.
