The context:
My ex received a 5-year permit when we relocated to the NL (he is non-EU), as a family member of EU citizen (me).
One and a half years later, we separated and recently divorced. We have kids together and a parenting plan as part of the divorce.
He is not working and he is also not paying the Children's maintenance as per the divorce agreement.
I have not reported him for not paying me the child maintenance fees (yet). I have not reported the divorce to IND (should I?)
I recently found out that he has a criminal case against him, the decision of which he is currently appealing.
He does not see the children regularly. Maybe once a month for 2 hours at best. The parenting plan has every other weekend but he has absolutely never complied with anything in the parenting plan. The kids are not financially or emotionally dependent on him.
Questions:
Would he retain his residency permit after the divorce, because he has children based in the NL?
He is not seeing the children or supporting them financially. As far as I know, he has no income from employment either.
He has an ongoing criminal case against him as well, which he is appealing. That means he has been fond guilty.
What do you think are the chances that IND allows him to retain his permit but change it as a father of EU children?
Thank you for the clarification!
