Hello

I am married with a Maltese Citizen since 3 years but we are planning to go to seperation. I told her that we can start the process, because it already takes 4 years, but she said if we start I can lose my residence permit and she also suggested to wait another 2 years for getting Maltese citizenship. We have a son and she does not want me to stay away from him.

So I am asking. If we apply to court for seperation, thus they will remove my residence permit? What is your suggestion about this circumtance. Because I do not want to stay away from my son.

Thanks in advance.

With something as sensitive as the custody of your child, I would recommend going to a lawyer seeking advice, rather than relying on an expat forum.

As I understood the post, he was not asking about custody advice, but rather his residence status if he proceeds with separation/divorce. I'm sure there's expats here that can offer advice or insight about that question.

Right but in most instances, if a member shares incorrect information based on their experience/knowledge which OP relies in, the consequences aren't quite as severe as not being able to be with your child.

Of course I will be contacted with a lawyer but before I wanted to hear somethings from people who has experience.
