International divorce

I am currently going through a divorce with my British husband, and we have two British children together. I am not a British citizen and currently hold a spouse visa, but I plan to apply for a family visa as the parent of British children. My soon-to-be ex-husband is living abroad with his girlfriend.

He initiated the divorce and has made a financial offer that I believe is significantly inadequate. My solicitor is currently reviewing and responding to this.

If he continues to make unreasonable offers and fails to meet our legal and financial needs, I would like to understand my options. Specifically, would I be able to relocate to my home country with my children, given that they hold dual nationality?

Can the UK family court require me to remain in the UK with the children, even though their father is living overseas and not providing sufficient financial support?

It would still be classed as abduction

of course if he doesn’t live in the same country as his children it becomes more probable that op would gain permission to remove the children but she should not follow proper legal channels should should wish to relocate - which is gain ex explicit permission or seek legal consent via specific issues order

i agree the current priority is seeking Fair financial settlement based on her needs and ex ability to pay based on staying where the children are currently settled. It sounds likr he’s a high earner and possibly enough assets to Do so but op needs to follow advice of her solicitor who will be in receipt of all facts
