Hi guys,
This is the first time I am posting and it is in relation to a difficult situation I have been stuck in for the past 2 years. I had an arranged 'love' marriage abroad to my cousin.
I didn't realise that he was only marrying me for the visa. I worked tonnes of jobs and broke myself to fulfill all visa conditions for spouse visa. Sponsored him over and things went wrong straight away but because I was too blind in love, giving it too many chances, trying to save my marriage (call it whatever you want) - I didn't do anything about it. I was also pregnant and suffered complications throughout and my mental and physical health wasn't great.
Fast forward the abuse, physical and mental and lots of emotional abuse - I had my baby. Didn't realise at the time but Husband had already made plans to leave me when baby was born as he didn't need me to secure his spouse visa further as he now had a British baby.
He left when baby was 2 months, overnight with no forwarding address left. He changed his phone numbers and disappeared.
He has never been in touch since then however I knew that in order to get VISA, he would need to apply to family courts so was expecting some documents to come through.
The Home Office actually decided to CANCEL his visa 1 year into it. This was done in July and Husband then applied to Family Court in August. I received papers in September. He was then about to be deported but got DL (I assume) due to contact proceedings.
He has never seen the child since 2 months, he has not paid a penny of maintenance yet he claims in Court that he did not know his visa was cancelled in July and that he tried to reconcile with me yet this was not the case.
If he was to be granted a contact order, what are his chances of getting the visa?
Am I likely to be successful in getting him deported?
Apologies for the long post.

Welcome to the Forum 
No need to apologies for a lengthy post, it's always good to give a back ground to the situation. I'm sorry that you had to go through this, but it's something that seems to happen a lot in order to get the "Green Card" (right to stay in the UK.)
All I can suggest is you seek legal advise from a family lawyer that specialises in such matters. You might be able to get information from your local (CAB) Citizens Advice Buro.
Good luck
Please come back and let us know now you get on, your findings might help others in your situation.

Hi and just to echo SimCityAT's welcome.
I concur with everything he's said; just to add that having lived in South Cerney myself, I know that your local Citizen's Advise Bureau is in Cirencester, their number is 0808 800 0511.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the kind replies.
The reason I asked on the forum is because I have already tried Citizen's Advice, Law Centre and various lawyers - they all don't seem to know. 😑
I suspect that your ex-husband is now in the hands of the British immigration system and whether he is permitted to remain in the UK is up to them.
As long as you have passed on all the relevant information to the authorities there is not much else you can do.
Have you passed on his details to the Child Benefit agency so they can chase him for your financial support for your child?
