    If you have "indefinite leave to remain" this is unaffected by later marital status changes, however you would have to wait the standard 5 years for naturalisation.

    If you have the temporary "spouse/partner visa" that is reviewed after 12 months, you may find that you have to leave the country and re-enter with a different status.

    Citizens Advice Bureau can give more specific advice on this (even for non-citizens)
