If you were granted a family immigration permit with your spouse or cohabitant, and you have been divorced or moved away from each other, you cannot usually apply to renew your family immigration permit.
If you or your child have been abused by your spouse or cohabitant, you can instead apply for a residence permit for those who have been abused or another type of residence permit, see more information on the pages below. There you will also find information about what violence and abuse are and how you can get help.
