Post new topic

Im currently facing divorce from my wife. we got married in 2019 in my home town and i joined her in 2023. we have two kids together—both were born here in belgium.  My wife is a national of belgium. i have a stable job. I have F-card that will expire in 2028.

will the divorce affect my stay in anyways?

Hey Danni, we are at the same situation , I joined my wife who she is EU National libing in belgium , and she decided she doesnt want me anymore as soon as she got pregnant , I was kicked from the house and I had to change my adress .. luckily I do have stable job ..


This happened in 2023 .. now its been more than a year I am still working and no one from foreign affairs contacted me regarding my F Card


As far as I knew , you can renew your residence once its expires K Card instead of F card as a Parent of a Minor who has EU Nationality (Your Children)

Either you have custody or right yo visit.. (You need to have work + Health insurance)


My F card will expire in 2027, I really hope someone passed by the same situation can also share his/her experience in the comments..

thanks  a lot for your contribution for your contribution. may i ask how long you joined her before she ask for divorce?

i have been undergoing domestic violence over a yrs in her hands.

im thinking of pressing charges as well.

1 year since the incident happened .. she called the police and said I hit her.. while she is the one abusing me ..


1 year we are living apart , I couldn't live in a Toxic relationship no more .. especially for my daughter .. I dont want her to grow up in thos environment..


So one year since I left the house and changed my adress .. and one year later she filed for divorce and we just got divorced ..


If you have children , you can apply for Card K once your F Card is expired ..
